Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you.
Timothy KellerOnly if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.
Timothy KellerTo the degree you experience God's love towards you - seeing you as beautiful and radiant - to that degree sex won't ruin your life.
