Jesus does not want to be on the list of your priorities, he wants to be the list.

Free yourself by knowing that God only expects you to be you. If you feel pressure to become anyone else, that impulse does not originate from the Holy Spirit, but your sinful nature.

It’s all about where I’m putting my trust. If a crisis causes me to draw into myself instead of into the Lord, I won’t ever learn how to let Him heal me.

Matthew tells his Jewish Christian readers, “Leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”

Pursue peace and the mutual building up of each other in Christ. Then, lean in and listen.
