For all its peculiarities and unevenness, the Bible has a simple story. God made man. Man rejected God. God won't give up until he wins him back. God will whisper. He will shout. He will touch and tug. He will take away our burdens; he'll even take away our blessings. If there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours. Please understand. His goal is not to make you happy. His goal is to make you His. His goal is not to get you what you want; it is to get you what you need.

Trust God's love. His perfect love. Don't fear He will discover your past. He already has. Don't fear disappointing Him in the future. He can show you the chapter in which you will. With perfect knowledge of the past and perfect vision of the future, He loves you perfectly in spite of both.
Faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.

The next time you're disappointed, don't panic. Don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control.
If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?
Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.
If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.
God has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you cry, and answer every question you ask.
You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.
A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.
