God does not want you to only learn about Him, He desires a lifelong relationship with you. Not the kind of relationship where you only talk when you have the time, or when life is going great, or even when life is going awful. He wants the kind of relationship where you can cry and spill out your heart to Him for hours in the middle of the night. He wants the kind of relationship where when you’ve completely messed up, you still find Him to be a safe and secure home for you to rest. He wants the kind of relationship where you experience life’s most joyous moments together. He desires to have an intimate, honest, and real relationship with you.
“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.”—
“There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself.”—
