Quotes to live by

"The Good news is that your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. The ups and downs we experience relationally with the people around us is not an accurate picture of our relationship with Christ.
We often reverse this and askew the rightful order.
When we live to please people and make them our idols, giving them the place in our lives that only God should have we find ourselves jerked around, happy and then sad, disappointed and hurt and ready to give up on it all.
We need to remove our friends, spouses, families, leaders from the throne of our hearts and TRUST a trustworthy, sinless God who loves us.

This gives us confidence in how we love, how we can interact with others...even if it means we're all alone because as His kids we're never all alone."
