“No matter what anyone thinks of us, we live as Christians. Not in our own strength, but in the might and power of Jesus Christ. We do justly. We love mercy. We’re humble. We stop focusing so much on ourselves—our comforts, our dreams and desires—instead focusing on the One who made us and the ones He calls us to serve. We stand for life, rescue and defend the weak and helpless. We aren’t afraid to say something is wrong even when it seems like the whole world applauds it. We forgive. We stand on the Word of God. We’re not interested in the things the world applauds and says is important because we have something better. Jesus. And above all else, we share His truth. Everything we do is for Him. Nothing is more important to us than Him. And we’re willing to give our all for Him.”

“In the midst of all the misery, Gerrit found great comfort in looking up at the sky. While at eye level everything was gray and suffering and cruelty and despair, when he looked up, there was beauty and light and color. Sometimes there was a column of smoke rising and marring the beauty, but always it dissipated, and even the smoke could not reach the highest expanses of the sky. On some days, the sky was clear and blue; other days there were clouds, sometimes white and puffy, reminding Gerrit of a flock of sheep. Other days the clouds were gray, but even gray clouds filled Gerrit with hope because no matter how terrible things were on the ground, the sky remained pure and unchanged. And every morning and every evening, the sky was splattered with yellows, reds, pinks, purples, and oranges. Not even the Nazis can stop God from painting the sky every morning and evening.”

“The thing about truth is that is doesn’t stop being true just because people stop believing it.”
