Lauren’s Quotes

“The Bible teaches that true joy is formed in the midst of the difficult seasons of life.”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“All my life I've heard people say, 'God loves you.' It's probably the most insane statement you could make to say that the eternal Creator of this universe is in love with me. There is a response that ought to take place in believers, a crazy reaction to that love. Do you really understand what God has done for you? If so, why is response so lukewarm?”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
