“We go through this life one time. Some wonderful things will happen to us; some dreams will come true. Some terrible things will happen to us, bringing with them pain, problems, and disappointment. Of that we can be certain. But we can go through this life worried — or we can go through it at peace.
Life is too short,
joy is too precious,
God is too good,
our soul is too valuable,
we matter too much
to throw away a single moment of our one and only life on
anxious striving.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid.”
(From The Me I Want to Be: Becoming God’s Best Version of You by John Ortberg)
