Just remember, forgiveness is a way of setting yourself free of the bondage put on you by others. There is liberty to he had in it.

love isn't about living in fear. It's not about controlling the hearts of those around you. It is patient and kind. It endures and believes the very best. It never gives up.

Perhaps this is what it was all about. Leaning on God when life made no sense, as well as when the answers seem clear.

Often admitting our weakness and fear is the first step to finding rest in God. Our trust in Him isn't conveyed though superhuman confidence as much as it comes in the way of childlike reliance on Him.

I can tell you what women need in general. They need respect and love. They need to be able to trust your word and to be able to confide in you. So often, we can't care for ourselves in this world, so we need protection and provision.

Consequences don’t just go away. They aren’t suddenly dissolved just because forgiveness has been desired or given.

you cannot let the pain of the past destroy the happiness of the future.
