Our hearts were never created to shift from tragedy to tragedy, conflict to conflict repeatedly, multiple times a day; much less, multiple times a minute. It’s the emotional and spiritual equivalent of the Mount Saint Helens eruption in our hearts. But it never ends, and we never give our hearts and minds time to recover, heal, and process.

You are called to live open and free. Not protecting what you have but giving it all away, including yourself.

It is impossible to coast to Jesus. To “come to him,” you must act on purpose. You must consciously exercise your will.

Your Will, whether you realized it or not, is the primary driver of your life.
