Each and every one of us has been created differently, for God’s own glory, and we each have our own path to follow.

If we want to be disciples of Jesus Christ, following him in complete freedom and without any reservation, the first and most important thing that we must let go of is ourselves.

We cannot call ourselves disciples, those who follow after Jesus and call him master, if we refuse to let him transform every part of us

As much as we would like to place the blame for our problems on some external factor, the cause of our problems often lies within us.

Discipleship is about a life of passion, about giving our lives completely over to the mission that Christ is calling us to.

I am God’s child, chosen and adopted out of love, called to love and serve in his kingdom. What could ever matter more than knowing this?
