Even when I cannot see him, I can hear the beautiful gallop of God's heartbeat for humanity. - Christine Caine

When shame has been pumping through a heart, over time the heart itself grows toxic. When we are wounded, we leak toxic waste, and that waste poisons us and the people around us — even when we are completely unaware of it — just like I did with Joanna. The reality is: • Hurt people hurt people. • Broken people break people. • Shattered people shatter people. • Damaged people damage people. • Wounded people wound people. • Bound people bind people.

If you commit yourself to living according to His Word your potential will be unlocked, and in time, what may look small now will grow into something significant.

Settling for what is comfortable is one of the biggest enemies to our enlargement...

In every season of life...we need to be committed to enlarging our personal capacity (even when it's not comfortable). We need to refuse to be satisfied with our latest accomplishments, as what we've accomplished is no longer our potential because it has been realized.
