On today's episode: "But what He wants more than anything is our whole heart. He can make and do anything He wills, but He can’t force us to give Him our whole heart. That’s something He left up to us. When we give that up to Him, it’s an act of pure love and it’s not something manufactured or something forced upon us."

On today's episode: "Suddenly, I go from isolated and coincidental incidents that seem to be related, into a full-scale attack on who I am. Every seemingly strained encounter where I assume the reason people are distracted or not as engaged with me is because I’ve done something to make them mad or they never really liked me to begin with.

On today's episode: "Until our hearts break over our sinfulness and are full of suffocating sorrow over our broken humanity, we will never fully understand how desperately we need Jesus.
