“Friends, we have to confront the reality that sometimes the problems in our lives do not come because “we're living in a broken world,” or “the enemy is attacking us.” Sometimes our problems are a direct result of us failing to exercise self-control. We are not living in obedience. Just as we, as loving parents, will not let our children compromise without consequences, neither will our loving heavenly Father. He is calling us back to a path that will bring peace.”
― Shaunti Feldhahn, Finding True Rest in a Busy Life

“Then your next step must be to repent of it. And I don’t mean the cursory ‘I’m sorry’ that we let children get away with. You have to mean it, dear one. You have to regret not only the consequences but the sin itself. You must regret not just your own pain, but the grief you’ve caused.”

“It was not enough that God should give the land of Canaan by promise and covenant to the chosen race. They had to go in to possess it, to put their foot down on its soil, to till its acres, and to live in its rich products.”
