Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.
John Eldredge
Image
Faith looks back and draws courage hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.
John Eldredge
Image
Truth be told, most of us are faking our way through life. We pick only those battles we are sure to win, only those adventures we are sure to handle, only those beauties we are sure to rescue.

Image
Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people.
John Eldredge
Image
A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.
John Eldredge
Image
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.
