Quotes edit
-
“God is with us when we’re failing. When we’re in turmoil. When we feel confused and lost and alone — when we feel everyone hates us. God is with us when we feel badly. It’s okay to feel awful. It doesn’t mean we’re doing anything wrong.”
-
“It’s the expectation we have of ourselves, and what others tell us, that makes us think God judges us. He doesn’t. If we were barely getting by, not trying very hard, not doing all we could — Jesus would still love us. He wants to carry us. He wants to take care of our lives.”
-
“It takes Jesus’ blood to take away our pain. Love isn’t enough. Love doesn’t make up for the sins of the world. It’s what Jesus has done, because of his love. I wouldn’t be with God if he were an inactive God. If he loved, but took no action to heal the world. I’m with him because he’s active, and is doing something for my life and pain. I’m with him because he heals me. Because he offers answers. Because he’s real.”
-
“Jesus experiences everything we do. He feels what we feel. Goes through what we go through. Suffers what we suffer. He lives within us, and experiences all of our trials. Our pain is his. Our problems are his own.”
-
“Jesus doesn’t blame us for what we do wrong. He isn’t disappointed or ashamed of us. He doesn’t think of us badly, holding back his blessings because of our mistakes. He doesn’t frown upon us if we don’t do well enough, or fail, or are grossly behind other people. He’s completely happy with us, at all times, as he sees into our heart and soul. He loves us. He’s proud of us. He only wants to rescue and bless us.”
