God is gentle, but He is also just. God’s not only here to comfort us and to tell us we’re doing okay. Sometimes what we really need is a loving smack to the back of the head and God saying “You’re being an idiot, we’ve talked about this. Now knock it off. I know you’re worth more than this.”

“I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment: to love my Lord, my God, with all my heart. I don’t want the reputation that I love God, I don’t want to write songs about loving God, I don’t want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes, I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him, I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and it’s real.”

“The most attractive quality someone can have is strong faith in Jesus. Looks fade, but a heart for God echoes for eternity.”

God doesn’t love us begrudgingly. He doesn’t look at us and say, “Well, you’re horribly broken and you struggle so badly in this area, but I guess I’ll love you anyways.” God’s love for us is wild, unashamed, and pure. He doesn’t look at us and say, “Well, you sinned in this way today, so you lost a little bit of the love I could have given you today.” He loves us just the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He already knows what you’re going to do, and His love for you is still wild, unashamed, and pure. On the days when you’re tempted to tell yourself that you were too horrible and broken for God to love you, whisper this into the depths of your soul: God is love.

We cannot control how people treat us, but we can control how we treat them DESPITE how they treat us. We can control how we react to heartbreaking situations, and choose whether to run to God or away from Him. How we react as believers can either hinder or help us. Choose God over everything. He can and will heal you.
