The world is chaotic and we cannot depend on our circumstances to remain as we wish or to improve as we desire. We can, however, trust the One who created us through a spark of life. He will lead us through streams both smooth and scary, and He will carry us home again. We matter to Him and to others. Our lives have value. But we are not in control.
—With a grateful shout-out to Jodi Picoult and Skye Jethani
