Sometimes, the most difficult people to lead to Christ...are Christians. Be gentle and empathetic. Be humble and teachable. Remember, a disciple is a life-long learner.
Hearing the truth about yourself is scary because it can reveal such ugliness. But without self-confrontation, we will never be liberated from the lies we believe.
I still believe the best about people. That’s probably a little foolish, and not everyone tries their best, but that’s my best: to believe you’re trying. #typewritertherapy#encouragement https://t.co/UWDuIzkpYo
You are loved. I am loved.
As much as I love you, dear friend, He loves you infinitely more.
Believe it. Walk in it. Walk with Him.
God is in the business of breathing life into hurting places.
This is what He does, even for the least likely like you & me.

I have a hard time with people who are cold, distant, & aloof. I really want to love on everyone & I know that some people get into a mood & all, but coldness is so punishing. I’d rather fight it out than get silence.
I wish someone had told me that friendships are sometimes for a season, that they can be deep and exciting and meaningful and vibrant and everything, but can one day drift apart, not their fault or mine. I would’ve enjoyed them more. I would’ve said a proper goodbye.
God, forgive me for when I lack empathy,
when I jump to making talking points out of tragedy,
when I forget the pain of community and family,
when my voice is louder than theirs.
