Above all else, guard your heart.

Death is your frenemy.

Enjoy the life you have, not the one you hope for.

Go to church and say "Thank you" and just shut up.

His mercies are new every mourning.

We is better than me.

Trust that 1) God is good and 2) one day He will make everything sad and bad come untrue.

Don't make today eternity.

Rest in (don't wrestle with) Jesus.

We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.

We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.

Life in God's world is gift, not gain.

People won't remember you (but God will never forget you).

Life is a breath, and then death. (P.S. Try to enjoy it!)

How to Pray (i.e. How to keep from going crazy): 1. Tell God about your problems. 2. Talk to God about His power. 3. Worship God.

Jesus poured His heart out to God, so He could pour His blood out for you.

Jesus experienced the never-stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever temptations of Satan...and He never gave in.

Marvel at Jesus. Keep studying your Bible. Think deeply. Ask questions. Be okay with mystery. And then marvel at Jesus some more.

Run to Jesus with your broken + wounded + suffering + depressed + guilty + ashamed + fill in the blank heart.

God comes to us and becomes like one of us so that people like us can come to Him and become like Him (Btw, that should give you goosebumps!).
