Crazy Love

"Worry implies that we don't quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, our tight grip of control." -Crazy Love by Francis Chan, p 42.
"Both worry and stress reek of arrogance. They declare our tendency to forget that we've been forgiven, that our lives here are brief, that we are headed to a place where we won't be lonely, afraid, or hurt ever again, and that in the context of God's strength, our problems are small, indeed." p 42

I felt like these parts of this book were worth passing on. I need to let go of my will and let God's Will consume me. I am constantly messing things up, but praise be to the God that picks me up and points me back to Him again.
