“Hope doesn’t mean I put myself in harm’s way. It doesn’t mean I ignore reality. No, hoping means I acknowledge reality in the very same breath that I acknowledge God’s sovereignty.”

“She'd been whispering to herself over and over, "I just need to be true to myself. To follow my heart. If it feels good, it must be good. I deserve something for me for once. After all, God wants me to be happy." But Jeremiah 17:9 clearly says our hearts can't be trusted: "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure." Every single thing our emotions tell us must be held up to the Truth of God's Word. Otherwise, we will be susceptible to the way our enemy twists our thoughts and feelings and uses them to deceive us.”
