God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
John EldredgeWhen a woman forsakes her vulnerability because she's been hurt or because she lives in a dangerous world or doesn't want to be used, she loses something essential about being a woman.
John EldredgeWe abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain โ money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self โ itโs not worth it.
