"To be alive is to be broken. And to be broken is to stand in need of grace. Honesty keeps us in touch with our neediness and the truth that we are saved sinners. There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.

Getting honest with ourselves does not makes us unacceptable to God. It does not distance us from God, but draws us to him—as nothing else can—and opens us anew to the flow of grace.

While Jesus calls each of us to a more perfect life, we cannot achieve it on our own. To be alive is to be broken; to be broken is to stand in need of grace. It is only through grace that any of us could dare to hope that we could become more like Christ."

"The hard place where we might be right now is not where we will be forever. Oh, it feels like it in the moment. The light fades and the curtains close. ‘This is who I am now,’ we tell ourselves, ‘This is how it will always be.’ Hope seems to slip through the crack in the window. But all of this is a mirage. Because we are not the hard-place people.

‘I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you.’ – Isaiah 43:2

Can you see it too? We are the pass-through people. Yes, the trouble comes. The tears fall. The heart breaks. But that isn’t the end of the story. Whether in this life or the next, we make it to the other side. To the joy, the light, the victory.

As someone who walked the difficult road of infertility for almost a decade, who has battled anxiety and depression most of her life, and is now unexpectedly experiencing a joy-filled season, I can bear witness that this is true. Many days I needed someone to help me not give up so today, right here and now, I want to be that person for you.

Hope is still here. Love is with us. Victory is ours. We are not done. We will not be overcome. We are only passing through.”
