Let's show up to life. Let's prove how beautiful it can really be. Let's face the conflict, redeem it, conquer it, and allow it to mold our character. Let's participate in what God is doing in the world.

Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.
Donald Miller
No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
