Authentic


"If you want to make a change in this world, if you want to embody an active faith, be actively involved in talking with God. Fight the urge to say the words you think he wants to hear, but instead open yourself up to discover the truth of who he really is.

You need not wait a day to live justly and change the world you live in. God uses broken, backwards, burned, and hurting people everyday to do extraordinary things.

I would, however, recommend that before you throw yourself into the fight against injustice every morning that you would push yourself to be authentic and honest (whatever that may look like) with our God. I promise you that, if you want it, God will tear down the false walls you’ve built around him and rebuild your heart to see him, yourself, and humanity the way we were meant to."
