“Unfortunately, we sometimes need reminders of our own inability to control the world around us.”

“We don’t come to Elôm because we are worthy; we come to Him because we need Him.”

“His name is Elon. He is the Son of Elôm. He took Jace’s place because, regardless of Jace’s past, regardless of the murder, regardless of the despair Jace lived in for so long, Elôm loves him. Loves him so much that Elon willingly sacrificed Himself so that Jace could live and be free of not only the mistakes of his past but all those of his future. Elon died on that platform in Jace’s place. But it was even more than that. He died not only for Jace but for me, and for Aaron, and for all who seek Him. He died to remove the sins of your past and your future, no matter how great. All you have to do is accept it. It is a free gift of grace. A gift He wants to give you. There is nothing in your life that could cause Him to withhold it.”

“Scars don’t bother me. We all have them. We’re all broken in some way. Love is finding the ways our broken pieces fit together. If Elôm can love us as messed up as we are, we can love each other.”
