41 " There’s beauty in letting go. It doesn’t have to be so painful. "

42 " Nothing. Just—I really don’t consider myself a Christian. If there is a God, and if He really loves me, then why did all that stuff have to happen? None of it makes sense.” “Trust me.” Austin lets out a sigh. “I know what you mean.” I shiver. Are these sudden chills brought on by the sincerity in Austin’s voice, or by the light breeze coming off the lake? “But you know,” he continues, “without the dark, we’d never see the stars. There also would be no use for the moon if there was never a night.” I "
43 " I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” - C.S. Lewis. Other "
44 " Only you are the perfect person to carry out this role that has been shaped to suit your life’s story. "

45 " God wanted to show off His artistic talent when He designed each of us. It was never His plan to create only one type of beauty! "
46 " Sure, people might still reject us—but none of that can faze us. We have been chosen and loved by the King of kings. It’s this relationship that defines who we are, not the reputation we might have in the world’s eyes. "
47 " The world might try to paint a picture of freedom, but in reality, it’s a life of bondage. The idea that our lives are in the hands of chance zaps our purpose, and the idea of being created by nothing makes me feel like—well, a nobody! "
48 " So, whether the sports team has rejected you or your friends have cast you out of their clique, find hope in knowing there is one place you will always belong: a position that cost Jesus a price far greater than you could ever imagine—just to secure your spot. "
49 " What pleases God isn’t our trendy style; instead, it’s the fact that our hearts diligently seek after Him. That is one trend that will never go out of style. "
50 " Self-discovery is a process—but our identity isn’t developed in the process of acting. We can trust that He has a script written just for us, a role that only we can fulfill. But that can only happen if we stop the act and instead embrace the person He has destined for us to become. "
51 " Christ didn’t die just so we could experience a little bit of freedom every now and then. He didn’t die so we could be temporarily free. He died so that we could be truly free. "
52 " Our identity was never intended to be a dream that we should strive to reach. It is a role we have been privileged to fulfill since the moment of our very first heartbeat. "
53 " We have been given the amazing privilege of standing out. We can remain in the spotlight, allowing our God-given value to be exposed for the world to see. "
54 " If the Creator puts such careful thought into His designs during the creation process, don’t you know He has a plan for your life? "
55 " God doesn’t just want us to use our gifts; He needs us to use them. Not so that people can notice our strength and beauty, but so that they can see His strength and beauty within us. Each of us plays a key role in preparing this world for the return of our King. "
56 " But we no longer need to have a defensive spirit, anticipating in fear the enemy’s every move, dreading an attack and fearing a loss. When we adhere to our authority in Christ, we can play with an aggressive spirit. The kind that comes from a player who knows the win is hers. "
57 " Why are we so quick to deem ugly what God originally intended for beauty? "
58 " When we say “yes” to His invitation of love, guess what? His love will shed light onto the beauty hidden within us. And that beauty will then radiate for all the world to admire. "
59 " Thankfully, we do have a Creator who chose to create us intentionally and wanted us. We can find reassurance in the truth that He devoted thought, skill, and intention into weaving us together in our mothers’ wombs. Our days were recorded even before we took our first breath. "
60 " Only God’s love can empower us to finally see ourselves with clarity. Not through eyes of judgment, but through the eyes of love. That’s the only perspective that can be trusted to bring about an accurate reflection. "
