Jesus wants to hear you. Jesus doesn't spiritualize our pain or sweep it under a rug. He wants us to say it out loud to Him because He is the Savior and He has shared in our sufferings and empathizes with our deepest wounds. People wanted to be close to Jesus not just because He was a good teacher, but because He made space to listen to them. It amazes me that the God of the universe came to this world as a man to walk with us, talk with us, and listen to us.

"This is why mercy matters, because it spreads like wildfire and burns bright with redemption. Mercy restores us to one another while also restoring us to God. And that is God’s heart — that none of us would be far from love or far from Him."

"I take all of my feelings, disappointment, fear, and pain and I lay them on the altar of God. I’m so tempted to become bitter and jaded and offended. I’m tempted to avoid those who have hurt me. But this would take me down the broad road of destruction. These responses would give a foothold to the enemy.
 
 This is not the way of Jesus. His narrow road is found by few. I want to be one who finds it."

"It's okay to ask 'why' when we suffer. My friend, whatever it is you're mourning today, don't add silence and shame to your suffering. God already knows. Take Him your tears, your questions, your confusion, even your question of 'why?'. Lay it all before Him, trusting His compassion to be an ocean that will soothe and heal your wounds, even if your circumstances and wounds remain."

"Introverts love people just as much as extroverts; we just do so in different ways.  Let’s release any expectations we have of ourselves about how many friends we make, the frequency of social events on our calendar, or the number of likes we get on social media. Instead, let’s focus on loving others in the powerful way God designed us to — one person at a time."

"While our circumstances may be different, our human need for connection and our reliance on Jesus for everything doesn't shift. This is what I keep thinking about: when we slow down enough to listen, the Silent Generation has a whole lot to say about pace and commitment and kindness. They have seen so much and yet we hardly ever ask them to give us advice or insight. We often just wave to them at church on a Sunday and then go to lunch with our friends that are our age, scrolling on our phones and hanging out with people facing the same challenges we are. And when we do this? We miss out on a whole lot."

"Joy is there, hiding in the corners of our messy, real lives. We might just have to redefine what it looks like. If you’re in a demanding season of caregiving, either in a personal or professional setting, consider what tiny parts of your day provide glimpses of joy just for you. You’re worth it."

"God alone can rewire the rhythm in my soul. In the rare moments of quiet and calm, before I find myself reaching and rushing to the next thing — or the next place to be, or meal to make, or email to answer, or checkbox to check — I'm beginning to sense the Holy Spirit’s hand on my heart, leading me to believe that He alone can rewire the rhythm in my soul. I sense Him whispering to me, telling me to stall and stay a while longer, to tolerate the quiet and spend my spare moments standing in awe of Him and all the work that He is doing."
