“God has a purpose for our feelings -- the good and the bad.”

“A letter makes ordinary things seem important.”

“Brew coffee or tea, sit with a friend and ask them questions—questions just one step riskier than the last time you talked. As you listen, observe the flickers of sadness or hope that cross their face. Try to imagine what it must be like to live their story, suffer their losses, dream their dreams. Pray with them and dare to put into words their heart’s desires, and dare to ask God to grant them.”
― Andy Crouch, Strong and Weak: Embracing a Life of Love, Risk and True Flourishing

“God created our emotions to work in harmony with our other two most fundamental faculties: our mind and our will.”
― Carolyn Mahaney, True Feelings: God's Gracious and Glorious Purpose for Our Emotions
