“Your fruit will outlast your life. You can’t always see the effects, because they are eternal, but one day you will. One day you will see that you couldn’t have been more significant if you’d tried.”
― Beth Moore, Chasing Vines: Finding Your Way to an Immensely Fruitful Life

“The fact is, real beauty is found out there under the same sky as vulnerability. I’m not suggesting we can’t die out there—we can. But we will most certainly die if we stay inside forever. Given enough time in the artificial light, within our insulated walls, our fruit will dry up and our branches will wither. Tap water simply can’t compare with the feeling of rain on our faces. Hearing the wind is a paltry substitute for feeling it whip through our hair. Shut yourself in from the pain of exposure, and you’ll also miss the sunset, where orange turns to purple and restores the souls of weary mortals. When we overinsulate ourselves, we’re protecting ourselves right out of our callings.”

“you want me to follow you on a journey, you have to come get me. The journey must begin where I am, not where you are or where you think I should be.”

“Just take the next step. I’ll show you what to do from there.” During so much of this walk with God, we feel blindfolded. Certain seasons are pocked with such random events that we decide all is helter-skelter. Other seasons seem so illustriously orchestrated that the ties between events are like streamers of spun gold. From the very beginning, God geared the faith walk to be relational, not informational. The latter was always intended for the sake of the former.”
