I believe this mess is because of the self-examination we go through, and as we mature we are tested, disciplined, and attacked. Christianity is not a bed of roses. It’s more like the thorns on the roses: we get scrapped, poked, cut, and bleed. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

The good news is that, through Christ, we are redeemed. The tough part is conducting the self-examination so that we can empty our hearts and grow closer to Jesus through sanctification. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find? #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

I realized that I needed to not only look at the darkness within me but I also needed to work to get rid of the darkness. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

We really need to learn, is how to praise Him in the valleys as well. The valleys are where growth happens. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

I will tell you the story of how I came to know Christ. And the things I have learned through the messy but glorious walk with Jesus. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love #Romans116
