“God will see you through. He’s bought you so far, Bri. If you look back at where you were and your journey to now, you’d know it. You’d see His handiwork.”

“Community. Had I ever felt like I truly belonged?

Aren't we in community with the Lord?

We are, but He wants more for us. He wants us to be part of the body of Christ, being His hands and feet on earth. Alone, we're just an individual constantly seeking to belong. And that can lead us on some very dangerous paths.”
― Toni Shiloh, The Love Script
