I really enjoyed reading the writings of Fredrick Buechner, I havent read anything by him in probably a decade but about 20 years ago I read four or five books of his and it helped me.

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don't feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what!

God wants no one to leave our presence empty handed.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

How we handle our tough times stays with us for a long time.

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

Reading the Bible can be like meeting someone you don't know who, oddly, somehow seems to know you deeply. It's uncanny.
