    Now I recognize there is power in vulnerability.

    Most of the time, I wasn’t in darkness. I was in shadow.

    When we put ourselves in the right place, we’re able to be an instrument of God for others.

    I believe that all truth belongs to He Who Is the Truth.

    Every day we deserve love because God has declared it so.
