Thomas à Kempis
“Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.”
Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Warsan Shire
“My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.”
Warsan Shire

“But when our expectations aren't anchored in the eternal, or informed by scripture, we end up running after things that are fleeing and ever-changing. Self infused desires and the pursuit of the approval of others is like chasing the wind: ever-changing, difficult to pin down, and impossible to catch.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation

James   McBride
“God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.”
James McBride, The Color of Water

“Consider these differences: Self help depends on my efforts to get where I need to go, sanctification asks God to do what only He can, and then equips me to do what I can in response. Self help focuses on my definition on healthy, helpful, good and wise. Sanctification allows scripture to define the virtues I ought to pursue and display. Self help believes my life is my own, sanctification says that my life is God's and He determines my purpose and path. Self help asserts that knowing my worth and value gives my life meaning, but sanctification moves me to find my worth in what Jesus paid for me. Self help pursues good things, sanctification chases God things. Self help strives to make my life easier, sanctification is submitting to a life that may be harder, but better. Self help has me at the center, sanctification has God at the center. Self help's end game is my happiness, sanctification's goal is my holiness.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation
