Love God and He will enable you to love others even when they disappoint you.

Better the discomfort that leads to repentance and restoration than temporal comfort and eternal damnation.

Everyone wanted to be the best. Best student. Best servant. Best Christian. They got caught up in it, pressing and pushing until they forgot whom it was they were trying to please.

I gave up what I can't keep for something I can never lose.

You said go to her, and I let pride stand in my way. You said she needed me, and I didn't believe. You said love her, and I thought it would be easy.

God would light the way. Faith would keep them on the right path.

Maybe it's only those who've made such chaos of their lives who can understand the heights and depths of God's mercy.
