“In times of deepest suffering it is the faithful carrying out of ordinary duties that brings the greatest consolation.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Secure in the Everlasting Arms

“I don’t think most people want to do what’s right. That’s what makes doing the right thing noble. It’s a conscious choice. A hard one. If it were easy, then why would we respect it so much?”
― Brandon Sanderson, Defiant

“Time and again, she
abandons him for idols. Time and again, he woos her back. But the
marriage never seems to work. Sinful people just can’t live with a
holy God.
Enter Jesus.”

“Christian marriage at its best is a beautiful picture of Jesus’s love
for us. But it’s not the only one. “By this we know love,” John writes,
“that [ Jesus] laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brothers” (1 John 3:16). In Christ we are one body together,
brothers and sisters, comrades in arms, knit together in love. If Christians lived like this, the plague of loneliness would be over, and all of
us—single or married, same-sex attracted or straight, old or young,
widowed or newlywed—would be embraced into a family. These are
the first tremors of the earthquake of God’s love that will remake the
world when Jesus returns.”
