God’s plan for your life is to look like Jesus, not be massively successful.

Jesus makes me feel happy. This should be our expectation as Christians. Life with Christ isn’t meant to be dull.

My grandpa just told me he ran 16 miles a day for 6 months straight while in the military. I’ve got some work to do.

Your gift to God isn’t your mission. It’s becoming someone who loves God, even in the small things.

What separates Christians from looking like Christ or not isn’t discipline. It’s how loved they feel by God.

God’s more committed to you than you are committed to Him.
