Inspirations

I can make it more than just poetry. I'm going to include some of my inspirations. I was looking through TrueFaced this morning and I was reminded of how much it spoke to me. One quote particularly stuck out to me as I will be required to "perform" tomorrow:

"We are all performers. One question remains: Will you perform to gain the acceptance and pleasure of your audience -- and always feel that you have failed? Or will you perform out of a heart of trusting delight, knowing you have already pleased your Audience?"

Some other great quotes from TrueFaced, a book by Bill Thrall, Bruce Nicol and John Lynch.

"...one of God's dreams is that we would influence others far more out of who are than out of what we do."

In the room of Grace.....

"Flawed and broken and fragile people are celebrated for their vulnerability and dogged dependence upon their identity in Christ."

"Grace is the face love wears, when it meets imperfection."
