“Redemption isn’t redemption without the broken path that took a person there.”
― Karen Kingsbury, Forgiving Paris

“A curious contradiction which any child soon sees through occurs when his parents expect to control him when they cannot control themselves.”
― Roy Lessin, How to Be the Parents of Happy And Obedient Children

“We are scared to make mistakes, so we fret over figuring out God’s will. We wonder what living according to His will would actually look and feel like, and we are scared to find out. We forget that we were never promised a 20-year plan of action; instead, God promises multiple times in Scripture never to leave or forsake us. God wants us to listen to His Spirit on a daily basis, and even throughout the day … My hope is that instead of searching for “God’s will for my life,” each of us would learnt to seek hard after “the Spirit’s leading in my life today.”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“God never asks us to do anything or go through anything that He will not empower us to do or give us the grace to endure.”
― Patsy Burnette, The Heart That Heals: Healing Our Brokenness Through the Promises of God
