When God interrupts our lives with His dream, it can be hard for us to want to step forward to embrace that calling because we see the sacrifice instead of the reward.

God's intention was never that we would make our own plans for our lives; rather, God's Word through Jeremiah promises that there is already a plan He wants to reveal to you and to me.

Doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.

If that were God's plan, it's a bad bargain; I don't want to have to deal with a God like that...My sense is God and I came to an accommodation with each other a couple of decades ago, where he's gotten used to the things that I'm not capable of and I've come to terms with things he's not capable of...and we care very much about each other.

That’s how I think of God: infinitely creative and imaginative, waiting to place us in some truly awesome scenarios.

To live safely within the realm of possibility is to know nothing other than that which is possible. To live boldly within the realm of God is to experience everything that’s impossible.
