We’ve traded in the Almighty for a pale facsimile of what we want Him to look like. We’re so lost and we don’t even realize it because we believe we fit in when we lessen Who we know God to be in the name of making Him more palatable to the world.

It’s really interesting to see how I expressed myself, thought and felt. One of the things I’m noticing is how much I tried to convince myself that everything was okay and that I was always at fault, to some degree, in what was happening at the time.

I’m also seeing that the definition of the right kind of person changed a lot.
