Give me open hands and open doors.

One of the things I love about the Bible is that it's page-by-page proof that God is not just a broad strokes kind of creator God is in the details. So much so that we're told nothing is hidden from him. He sees everything he's the beginning and the end. There's no greater authority on your life than the one who gave you your life.

I don't wanna go throught the motions I don't wanna go one more day Without your all-consuming Passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking What if I had given everything? Instead of going through the motions.

Go is such a refreshing language to program in, there is very little clutter just the stuff you need to get the job done

I truly believe that if someone is believing a lie about who they are right now, that God's desire for you is to be set free from that once and for all. Ask him to show you where that false identity is coming from. Ask him to show you how differently he sees you than how you view yourself.

There's no substitute for the power of a personal story. The true stories of God redeeming a broken life shoot like arrows straight to our hearts and remind us that God wants to do the same life changing work in our lives. I love how one story can impact another story, causing a ripple effect of change if we let it.

I love David's prayer, Search me, God, and know my heart... [Psalm 139:23]. I prayed that a lot. God, search my heart and my life, reveal to me any areas of my life that you want me to see, any identities you want to show me, and help me dare to believe that your grace has erased them once and for all.

I think the biggest fear is the fear of what a life devoted to God will cost. We love our stuff, don't we? It's the fear of the thought that maybe, just maybe, a life going all in for God might mean we would have to let go of some of our stuff, our way of life, our comforts. That scares people. I know it scares me sometimes.
