“Discontentment shows up when we focus on what we can't have rather than what we do have.”

“It isn't about what we are supposed to 'do'; it is about what we choose to 'believe'.”

“It's no wonder we are so messed up when it comes to walking with God. In nearly every aspect of our existence, good performance equals good reward. Except not with him. A good thing turns bad when we perform to earn God's acceptance rather than simply receive it like a gift.”

“Rather than admitting you don't know what to do next, you fake it in public and feel lost when you're alone.”

“We all believe somewhere deep inside that we should be better, be doing more, be someone other than who we currently are. ...we feel as if we aren't good enough.”

“We have an enemy who would do anything to keep us distracted from Jesus.”

“There is no activity that is somehow more Christian than another. God looks at the heart, and that is the good part that Mary knew. he simply asks us to come as we are and to be willing, open to receive whatever he might have for us this day. That is what it means to live a graceful life.”
