God's Boundaries Are Protective

‎"Oh Lord, let my wild heart always remember…Your instructions, Your boundaries, aren’t cruel barriers to keep me from freedom. They are protective restrictions meant to define where safe freedom can be found." ~ Lysa TerKeurst

"Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." ~Psalm 16:5-6 (NIV 1984)

Sinners, Doubters & Uneven Performers

"All the persons of faith I know are sinners, doubters, uneven performers. We are secure not because we are sure of ourselves but because we trust that God is sure of us. Neither our feelings of depression nor the facts of suffering nor the possibilities of defection are evidence that God has abandoned us." ~ Eugene Peterson
