“You don’t need to panic when you feel you are in a free fall, because the fate of the universe is not in your hands! You must do what only you can do, then trust Him for what only He can do.

But know that it’s not into the bricks you are falling—it’s into His grace and His love, which has no end to its height or depth or width. It never runs out. Obedience is our responsibility. The outcome is His.”

The goal is to get closer to the center as you go around and around in smaller and smaller circles.”
