Wondering If You Matter?
You matter.
You who are your own worst enemy. You who’s chattering brain will keep you small.
You matter.
“Mattering is the belief and conviction that you matter, that your life has cosmic significance regardless of external circumstances.

“Do you bother God with your persistent prayer?
God wants you to bother him as it opens up a new view of God. This is what God wants. You see it as bothering, but God sees it as a relationship. So is God bothered?
How do your trust issues change when you realize that God wants to be bothered by you?”

“Love will smash your heart. To love is to put yourself in vulnerability. With vulnerability comes the possibility that you will have your heart smashed. This is a 100 percent possibility.
Nothing will change that percentage. As a Christian, you are not exempt from pain.
God is always faithful. That is also 100 percent. God always redeems our pain. And pain has a Holy Spirit magic way of making you beautiful.”

“I define bravery as your decisions to actually trust God. That is full of vulnerability because with God there is not the guarantee of the controlled outcome you want.”

“Hope is a function of struggle.”

“The real questions for parents should be: "Are you engaged? Are you paying attention?" If so, plan to make lots of mistakes and bad decisions. Imperfect parenting moments turn into gifts as our children watch us try to figure out what went wrong and how we can do better next time. The mandate is not to be perfect and raise happy children. Perfection doesn't exist, and I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.”

“If we are going to find our way out of shame and back to each other, vulnerability is the path and courage is the light. To set down those lists of *what we're supposed to be* is brave. To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.”

“There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.”

“I define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. With that definition in mind, let’s think about love. Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow—that’s vulnerability.”
