But when you preach the power and the hope of the gospel, you’re assuming the foundation has already been laid.
“Blaming your parents for their obvious mistakes does not just hinder your ability to honor them where honor is due. Blaming them allows you to avoid the question “What could I have done differently? What SHOULD I have done differently?”

“In our modern forms of specialized education, there is a tendency to lose the whole in parts, and in this sense we can say that our generation produces few truly educated people.

“There are two ways suffering can change you. The first is by breaking you down, leaving you afraid, paranoid, and void of hope. The other is by breaking you open, leaving you with a wider heart, and expanding your capacity for love. Jesus, in his suffering, was broken open for us. When we share in Christ’s sufferings, we too are broken open and able to love others more than we could before.
Because of the suffering you have endured in the past, you are able to persevere and endure even more suffering in the future. Each season of suffering prepares you for the next one. As you persevere in suffering, you become more resilient in the face of trials.”
