“Lord,” she whispered – and a witness would have testified to the iron in her tone, “I am Yours. All of mine is Yours. You give what You deem is best, and I will pour it back at Your feet as an offering.”

“Jonah didn’t mind preaching to his own people, but when God asked him to step out of that comfort zone and preach to his enemies in Nineveh, Jonah shook his head and ran. In pursuit of our good deeds, we may be failing those people God puts in our path, and in turn, failing to do what the Lord has commanded us. The lost are all around, Church. God doesn’t ask if they are your kind of folks, or if you’re comfortable doing what He asks. There’s not a qualifier when He says, ‘Go.’ He didn’t ask you if His plan was okay with you, or if this is a good time for you.”

And sometimes those small increments feel excruciatingly long.”

“Grief recovery takes time. He can’t drink it away, meditate it away, or exercise it away. He can only live it. One miserable day at a time.”
