“Not at all. What I mean is that God places different burdens on each heart. Can you imagine if every single Christian and pastor had the same calling? What would happen to all the other needs in the world — or even in this town, for that matter? “God calls all of us in a unique way. As none of us are created identically in appearance or how we think, or feel, we’re also not given the same gifts. “We must be responsible for where God plants us, rather than judge others for not being in the same place. That’s not to say that our calling can’t change, or we might see a hardship and strive to fix it. But if we don’t, then we’re accountable to God, rather than to one another. Does”

“Am I a sinner, or less of a Christian than you, because my ministry might be to aid someone other than those you feel drawn to help?” Her words were even and calm, but nonetheless, they dug deep. Julia winced. “I wasn’t pointing my finger at you.” “Ah, but weren’t you?” Wilma leaned forward, her expression soft and kind, almost giving lie to her direct words. “I’m sure you didn’t think of it that way, but aren’t you judging others for what you perceive as their sin of not caring?”

“The only way to true healing and freedom is by forgiving those who have hurt you.”

“Grief is an unfillable hole in your body. It should be weightless, but it's heavy. Should be cold, but it burns. Should, over time, close up, but instead it deepens.”
