In Some Sense We Are All Hypocrites

Your Soul Craves Truth, Beauty, Wonder, Love. Your Soul Craves To Dream, To Imagine, And Even Simply To Understand. Your Soul Craves To Connect, To Commune, To Create.

God Allows And At Times Causes Us To Go Through The Kinds Of Circumstances That Strip Away All Falsehood And Leave Us With Our Real Selves. God's Ultimate Intent Is Not To Leave Us Faithless, But To Leave Us Faith-full. There Are Few Things As Exhilarating As Going Through The Fire And Finding That You Had The Resilience To Make It Through. All Of Us Wonder At Times Whether We Have What It Takes. God Wants To Bring Us To A Place Where We Have No Doubt Of The Work He Has Done Within Us.

When The Church Becomes An Institution, People Are Nothing More Than Volunteers To Be Recruited. When The Church Is A Movement, Our Stewardship Becomes The Unleashing Of Our God-given Gifts, Talents, And Passions.

Love, No Matter How You Come At It, Is A Huge Risk. It Makes It Easier For Me To Remember That God Will Never Reject Me Because I Am Not Good Enough And That Any Community That Has His Heart Will Embrace Me As I Am. Jesus Invites Us Into A Community Where Imperfect People Can Find Acceptance, Love, Forgiveness, And A New Beginning.

Humility Is Not About Having A Low Self-image Or Poor Self-esteem. Humility Is About Self-awareness.
