Radiant Quotes

“God has a sovereign plan, and He can make something beautiful from your life.”

“God can and will use it all—the good, the bad, and the ugly—to put you in the right place for His purposes to be accomplished through your life.”

“The heroes you read about in the Bible—Ruth, Esther, Joseph, Mary—often they were ordinary young men and women, not superheroes. Just because their names and stories appear in Scripture doesn’t make them any more special than you. They were faced with challenges that most of us know from our Bible storybooks. But in their lives, in their world, these now-famous moments were simply the circumstances and decisions facing them that day. God’s will wasn’t a mysterious riddle waiting to be answered somewhere in their future. God’s will was in their faces. God’s will was in their now. And the same thing is true for you. Today is your mission. Today is your answer. In God’s timing, today holds the key to where He’s taking you tomorrow.”

“The crown is already on your head. Your divine mission is significantly and intricately tied to what you’re doing right now. Don’t miss it because you’re anxiously looking ahead, discontented with the things God has given you today. The opportunity to honor God with your life is already in your hand. Whatever He has asked you to do today, do it with all your heart.”

“You may have done something, you may feel something, you may have experienced something, but it doesn’t mean you are that something. You are who God says you are.”

“Consider the fact that you were created with a divine mission in mind.”

“He made you. On purpose. By design. He put you together in your mother’s body. He has an intimate, involved knowledge of you. He possesses a deep interest and concern for you. He didn’t create you by chance or by accident. He made you with your whole life in mind. Wonderful God created a wonderful you. Now, to tell you the truth, it’s a wonder He made any of us at all. That’s part of what’s so wonderful about the fact that He created us . . . because He sure didn’t need to. It’s not like He was missing something from His life before we came along. He is God. He’s always been God. He is fully complete within Himself. He made you—get this!—because He wanted you.”

“You need to block out the lies that keep trying to undermine your true stature as a daughter of the King, because your value in Him will never change even when your circumstances do. Knowing and really believing your God-given identity will save you from searching for significance in all the wrong people, positions, and possessions. None of these things can give you worth or lasting value. Only your Father can do that.”

“God’s radiance shines through you, through the uniqueness of you. Everything about the way He’s created you, He did it with the purpose of making you a prism for His light. You’re like an intricately designed stained glass window made of beautiful and unique details, distinct in certain ways from all others. And through you, through the carefully constructed window of your life’s uniqueness and experiences (even the hard ones), He wants to show Himself to the world.”
― Priscilla Shirer, Radiant: His Light, Your Life for Teen Girls and Young Women

“Like a beautifully created, intentionally crafted stained glass window, you have been designed by a master Artisan with distinction in mind. You’re the only one He chose to make exactly as He created you—in your own shape and coloring, with your own individuality, personality, and background. Your uniqueness. He made you this way not only so you could be special, but because He’d already thought ahead about how best He could accomplish His ultimate goal through you. To reflect the light. His light.”
