John Piper on Philippians 1:27 (via faithwillstand)
"Let your life be an advertisement for how valuable the gospel is."
do you realize that the God of the universe; who changes the sky day after day; who decided that the ocean could only come so far up the shore: calls you beloved? he looks at you and sees your brokenness and longs to heal it. he spoke and the earth came to pass and yet he desires an intimate relationship with you. surrender.
"Gray skies are just clouds passing over."
"If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it, too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me."
