It’s not always going to be probable because you want it. Faith is not about getting what you want just because you think God could do it. Faith is trusting in the character of God even when He does not do what you want your way.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

I’m so imperfect in word and deed. I just want to be like Him but but get taken up by the waves of the world and my own frail mind. God is slowly but surely perfecting His will in me!
The most adventurous journey to embark on; is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait of your soul.
