“The truth of God's love is not that He allows bad things to happen, it's his promise that he will be there with us--when they do.”

“Dear girl, face whatever it is. You’ve been brave already. You’ve come here on your own. Only a brave soul would do that. Be brave again. Be brave until the end. You can’t go back and undo this. It’s one of the harsh realities of this life. If I could I’d go back and unsay every harsh word I’ve ever uttered. But I can’t—and you can’t change the past either. Look ahead.”
― Rachel Fordham, Yours Truly, Thomas
