Jesus wastes none of our stories, even our tales of woe. He transforms them into epic adventures where we dare to face our past for the sake of our present.

When Jesus isn’t our everything, our enough, we pursue every other thing that fills.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

When God wants to do an impossible task, He takes an impossible person and breaks her.

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

To become more like Jesus we must understand that the only growth we can be in charge of is our own.
