Quotes by Holley Gerth (?)

“Be courageous and try to write in a way that scares you a little.”
― Holley Gerth

21 likes

“While God does want us to be open with others, he also encourages us to put boundaries in place as we do. He talks repeatedly about guarding our hearts. So what’s the difference? Hiding is a response out of fear, while guarding is a proactive choice to protect what matters most. In other words, we’re not to deliberately put something of worth where it won’t be valued.”
― Holley Gerth, You're Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be

“Because here’s the secret: in the kingdom of God, as long as you’re still fighting, you’re winning. God doesn’t hand out medals for performance. He hands out crowns for perseverance.”
― Holley Gerth, You're Loved No Matter What: Freeing Your Heart from the Need to Be Perfect
