“My Higher Power has a name. Jesus. I believe in a God who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for all your mistakes so He could be with you for eternity. He is the God who has restored me to sanity while I walk with Him and submit my will to Him every single day—every single hour and minute. And sometimes those small increments feel excruciatingly long.”
― Janet W. Ferguson, The Art of Rivers

“Jonah didn’t mind preaching to his own people, but when God asked him to step out of that comfort zone and preach to his enemies in Nineveh, Jonah shook his head and ran. In pursuit of our good deeds, we may be failing those people God puts in our path, and in turn, failing to do what the Lord has commanded us. The lost are all around, Church. God doesn’t ask if they are your kind of folks, or if you’re comfortable doing what He asks. There’s not a qualifier when He says, ‘Go.’ He didn’t ask you if His plan was okay with you, or if this is a good time for you.”
