One must push through the press of passion to realize their life’s purpose
Humility goes a long way in reconnecting our hearts to God when we feel distant.
He draws close as we take a more accurate view of our lives by confessing our human limitations, shortcomings, and failures at the dining table of grace.
Draw from what is not what isn’t.
In this day you have the choice before you, choose life that you may live.
For death follows you around negating and criticising all things good. Resist the pessimism. It’s easy to live a cynic. It takes courage to hope and believe for good, especially in times of darkness.
Let the smile return, a smile filled with hope restored.
When the heart and mind experience communion there is unspeakable joy in the presence of peace.

One can not fulfill their life’s purpose without first suffering through the combination lock if their life’s passion.
Nothing comes easy. Passion is suffering. One suffers in the pursuit if their passion.
The Great Exchange – our double mindedness, pride, and shame for His accepting Grace..
As we confess our sins before Gid and others He is faithful to forgive us our sins. When we experience forgiveness our faith in His grace is restored. We move away from the traps of self effort into a heart position of yielded surrender. It is the sweet spot where we experience His unconditional love.
Our decision to make this exchange on the bridge of the cross is what determines the gratitude and grace that flows out of us onto others. When we are walking in grace, we are rooted in the vine, and we can’t help but bear fruit. It’s the opposite of self effort when we are aware of Him flowing through us. It would be foolish to take any credit for anything other than being close to Him.
One of the biggest ways we honor our parents is to honor the wounds we received from them and grow beyond the their limitations
And the cards they left us with.
Life is hard and we need safe traveling buddies. Consider this one of the biggest investments we can make in our lifetime.
And the ones whose heart we take the time to know shall be with us in our eternal home.
Being present to your pain has the power to activate the healing balm of compassion.

When you fall into the holes of depression and despair, there is nothing else to do but be present to yourself. No expectations on when you will feel better.
