You are not obligated to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and find a way to conquer the odds, to be stronger or transform yourself into some better version of yourself. The pain you are feeling (whatever the degree) may be a reminder that things are not as they should be.
Tullian TchividjianThe heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian TchividjianOur assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.
