Kindle Notes & Highlights
It was so painful to leave the security of a man and to choose Jesus, but I knew I had to.”
If we are going to fulfill our purpose and keep on loving the adventure, then we must accept that some things will break down along the way.
Jesus wants us to practice love, grace, and mercy—especially with those who wound us most, because they are often the most wounded.
Trusting again is the way God wants all our stories to unfold, because trust is the fuel that keeps us moving forward in faith, embracing all the unexpected adventure that he has planned for us.
When we give hope a voice, we discipline our minds to think what God thinks and to say what God says—and nothing else.
We all feel anxious from time to time, but we don’t have to talk up all the anxiety we’re feeling.
God’s first priority for us is always transformation—a change from the inside out. He almost always transforms us before he transforms our circumstances.
Could it be that sometimes there are giants we can defeat only because we’ve been seasoned long enough by our wilderness years to know we can?
I almost talked myself out of starting the course, but my desire to keep growing is greater than my fear of failure.
Faith is believing God, believing that he is who he says he is, and that he will do what he said he would do. Patience is our capacity to tolerate delay—to wait. It’s trusting that God is good, God does good, and God knows what he is doing—no matter how long it takes and no matter what our purpose may be.
“He tells us everything over and over—one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!” (Isaiah 28:10 NLT).
God uses the desert roads of our lives to protect us and to prepare us.
Timing is just as important as doing when it comes to following God.
When Jesus offered him freedom, the man focused on his limitations.
It’s much easier for us to post and hashtag about being wounded than it is to take the risk of being healed.
Confronting fear never ends, but being controlled by it can end. I know I’ve said this before, but I can’t say it enough.
