Most of what you encounter when you meet a man is a facade, an elaborate fig leaf, a brilliant disguise.

Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.

A man does not go to a woman to get his strength; he goes to her to offer it.

somehow we have overlooked the fact this treasured called the heart can also be broken, has been broken, and now lies in pieces down under the surface. When it comes to habits we cannot quit or patterns we cannot stop, anger that flies out of nowhere, fears we cannot overcome, or weaknesses we hate to admit--much of what troubles us comes out of the broken places in our hearts crying out for relief. Jesus speaks as if we are all brokenhearted. We would do well to trust His perspective on this.

Eve is a life giver; she is Adam's ally. It is to both of them that the charter for adventure is given. It will take both of them to sustain life. And they will both need to fight together.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.

In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.
