“I am what I love, and I will love you like Jesus, because of Jesus, through the strength of Jesus. I will love when I'm not loved back. I will love when I'm hurt and disappointed and betrayed and inconvenienced and rejected. I simply will love. No expectations, no conditions, no demands.”
― Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life

“Not 'I am finished,' but 'it is finished.' His supreme sacrifice was over. His mighty work of redemption was done. He came to earth to do the will of His Father, and He had accomplished that...By His death Jesus abolished the ceremonial Law and all its obligations, stamping them *paid in full*.”

“Suffering is not a problem that needs a solution as much as it is an experience that needs compassion.”
― Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life

“Now the word ‘serve’ may have 26 meanings in the English dictionary, and we can make it mean anything I suppose. In the Hebrew it means to work for a master as a bondservant. It is important for us to keep in mind that serving means that we are not directing or dictating, but rather we are submitting to a master...

The problem with many Christians today is that they want to tell God how they are going to serve as well as the conditions of their serving. This is not acceptable as far as God is concerned. God is my owner and serving Him means I recognize His ownership and I am completely in allegiance to Him, nobody else.”
