✨ Love people so radically they wonder why ✨

One day God will wipe away every tear.

Jesus is not an abuser.
Jesus is not a racist.
Jesus is not a user.
Jesus is not a liar.
No matter who has preached him to you or represented him to you then proved untrue, Jesus is true.
Faithful.
Holy.
Honorable.
He is Light.
And in him is no darkness.
He is not like us.

[Shannon Dingle, M.A.Ed. @ShannonDingle]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO GRIEVE. Anyone who wants to put limits or conditions on your grief is wrong.

[Shannon Dingle, M.A.Ed. @ShannonDingle]

You are not a mistake.

[Nicole Braddock Bromley @Nicole_Bromley]

I’m encouraged knowing that when we grieve, the Lord grieves. And when we are weary, God is still strong. Our comforter, sustainer and provider. I’m confident our story doesn’t end here.
Together we will get through this.
I’m thankful for each and every one of you.

Survivors, it’s been a tough, challenging, lonely and stressful few months, hasn’t it?
Today, I am reminded that it’s one thing to give thanks while on a mountaintop, and another thing all together to give thanks while in a valley.

God doesn't give us influence so we can lead people better, He gives it so we can love people more.

I found this diary entry from sixth grade.

[Nicole Braddock Bromley @Nicole_Bromley]

A friend @jamiefriedrich once said “I hope you know that when people don’t show up for you, it’s not a reflection of you” and I felt like maybe someone else needed to hear that too.

Forgiveness doesn’t require reconciliation. Sometimes that isn’t possible or safe.

Forgiveness is a decision no one can take away from you. It’s you honoring God. It’s you honoring your healing process. It’s you deciding you’ve suffered enough.
It’s empowering and beautiful.

[Tim Keller Wisdom @DailyKeller]

When we are bitter, it is because we have forgotten that we are already totally saved by grace alone—so how can we withhold grace?

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

One of the things I despise about this awful virus is that I cannot embrace someone who is crying. I hate it. These present conditions are so ill-fitting for ministry.

The end of “Finding Dory” where Dory reunites with her parents is like the return of the prodigal son and it’s a bit more emotional than I bargained for. 🥺

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Since the Garden of Eden, humankind has perilously confused foolishness with freedom.

“For you were called to be free...only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh but serve one another through love.” Gal 5:13

The radical calling of the cross:
Put others 1st.

[Brittney Burgess @brittneyrb]

@AScott95 @BurgatoryBar Ha you’d love that one wouldn’t you!

[Shannon Dingle, M.A.Ed. @ShannonDingle]

It’s brave to take a stand and speak.
It’s also brave to take a seat and listen.

Wisdom tells us which is right in any particular moment.

[Brittney Burgess @brittneyrb]

Baby Dory is literally one of the cutest animated characters I’ve ever seen. 😭😍🐠

[SensitiveRefuge @SensitiveRefuge]

If you’re a highly sensitive person, you’re processing everything in the room much more deeply than everyone else, from sounds to textures to other people’s body language. No wonder most people don’t understand your overwhelm.

[Amanda Held Opelt @AmandaHeldOpelt]

I am so tired of the political right telling me what it looks like to be a Christian. I want Jesus to tell me what it looks like to be a Christian.
