God has chosen the weak and despised things to bring to nothing the things that are (1 Cor 1:28). Nothing will last or mean anything except what the Lord does through me (1 Cor 3:12-15).

By age 36 my life was a wreck because my heart was in shambles. My heart, the central source of my person and life, was everything that it wasn’t created to be.
