"It is really important that you understand your sense of value to the Lord, why He adores you, why He loves you, why He is totally committed to your story and your journey, and why He got rid of all the things that would stop you from knowing Him. He put it all on Jesus so that when Jesus died you died, and so to come into the Kingdom you have to be born again. That means you are not born into a place of sin again like you were the first time, you are actually born again into a place of righteousness."

"You bled your heart out,

now I feel a beat in my chest.

How wonderful?"

"This relationship, this love thing, this oneness thing 

– it must be
worth it. 

There is a way to heal when hurt happens – His name is Jesus.

There is a way to trust again – His name is Jesus. 

There is a way to
work out our disagreements – His name is Jesus.

There is a way to be
vulnerable again – His name is Jesus. 

When I get hurt, I have two
choices: to heal or to hide."

“Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of
God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some
of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates
others.”

-Marianne Williamson

The ability to revel in the moment and be transformed by its beauty - tis' a gift from God.

It's says something about our society's values when community service is considered a punishment.
