Collection Of Recent Thoughts

I never knew who I was until I knew Christ. When I search my soul I find expectations I cannot meet, discouraging realities of how the world perceives my imperfections, and distracting ideas of what I should be striving for in this life. When I search the heart of God, I find that my identity is wrapped up in his perfect love. Who I am becomes less relevant. Who God is becomes everything.

Less is more. Will you choose to walk in fear or in love today?

Less performance more obedience

Less striving more seeking

Less Facebook more friendships

Less anxiety more anticipation
Less defensive more at peace

Less venting more listening

Less rushing more serving

Less coffee more rest

Less habit more victory

Less sensitivity more security

Less distraction more passion
