Love

To be able to love is a great privilege. It is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. But this love need not always be with another person. Simply love what you are, what life is, and everything you encounter in your life. That is love.

The Journey

Those around you cannot tell you what your future might or should hold. This is your journey. Take it with both hands and experience as many destinations as you can along the way.

Innocence

If you look into a child's eyes, there dwells total innocence. What a sad world to take that beautiful gift from them, seemingly as a rite of passage into adulthood. Rather, dear friends, cling to your innocence. Do not live in ignorance, but live in joyful innocence, for Christ gives you such a privilege.

Failure

You say you are afraid to fail, my dear, but you do not trust in God! Without God, you will fail, for with God all things are possible. To trust in God and you cannot fail.

Bravery

Be brave, my friend. God is calling! It might be scary, it might be dangerous, you might get hurt or be hungry or sweaty. But I promise you, it will be fantastic!

Where God Is

In the spot between your head and your heart; that is where God should be.

God is Love

Without God, there can be no resemblance of love, for God is love. A person can only love themselves and others through knowing and experiencing the exquisite love of God. God is love.

A Grand Story

Stop and look around. Look at the small things; the way a bee flies, how the wind rustles the leaves. Those are beautiful things; they are words or lines in our God's profound and intricate story of creation. Breath it in and be a part of that story, my friend.
