Acknowledgemen t of what you feel, what you know, what you need is the first step toward healing.

Listen for the instruction, instead of begging for the direction.

When you find yourself in a new situation, everything that requires healing is going to rush to the surface.

When anyone makes comments that are offensive to you, would you be willing to do the teaching?

I knew all of the childhood prayers I uttered on my knees at the side of my bed. Many years of Sunday-school attendance had etched certain Psalms and rote prayers into the fibers of my brain. However, somewhere deep inside of me, I had the secret belief that I did not know how to pray, and that frightened me.

I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.

In all relationships, regardless of their nature, there comes that moment when you understand that there are some things you will never understand. When you are standing in that moment, just be right with it.
