We 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.
John EldredgeSo long as man remains no real threat to the Enemy, Satan's line to him is 'You're fine'. But after you do take sides, it becomes 'Your heart is bad and you know it'.
John EldredgeThe 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.
John EldredgeMary had Joseph. Esther had Mordecai. Ruth had Boaz. We will not become the women God intends us to be without the guidance, counsel, wisdom, strength, and love of good men in our lives.
