- His word never goes out and returns empty. (Isaiah 55:11)
- You aren't a good judge of how you speak (good or bad.)
- No one remembers the stuff you are afraid they will remember.
- You are harder on yourself than anyone else will ever be.
- On your worst day you are better than you think you are.
- The Holy Spirit isn't hampered by a poor delivery.
- Live in the ocean of God's grace, not in the puddle of your own good or not so good work.
- Humility is important, embrace the opportunity to live in it.
- It is a beautiful thing to watch God use our mess to change lives. You might not see it, but this is what He does.
