-) Fear can cloud our vision and lead us away from God’s heart

-) God often works most powerfully in moments that feel broken

-) The more excellent way is not legalism, but love

-) Compassion and mercy reflect the heart of God

-) Saying yes to God does not remove fear, but it leads us through it

-) Love is not a feeling but a faithful, lived commitment

-) God is with us even when life is not going according to plan

-) What feels like an ending may be the beginning of something more beautiful
