“I want to be okay. I want us to be okay. But I’m afraid the risks are just too high. My heart says I love you, but my fear says it’s not safe. And fear has the louder voice right now. So, I want to trust you, but I don’t.”
― Lysa TerKeurst, I Want to Trust You, but I Don't: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment

“it too. We become more forgiving as we receive His forgiveness. And as we find Him in every situation and circumstance of our lives, we can relax. We don’t have to hide anything because nothing is hidden from His view. And knowing us, He loves us. Our awareness of His love will transform our lives as we come to grips with the fact that His love has never been dependent on our good behavior. That’s awe-inspiring and humbling. Now we’re getting wiser.”

“We can let our sin and anxiety and everything we experience in life take us deeper into relationship with God and awareness of ourselves. As we go deeper, the cross goes deeper, and our dependence on the Holy Spirit becomes greater, too, as we “lean not on our own understanding.” We don’t have to try to do God’s work. We can’t use our sin management to grow ourselves into the image of Christ, but by the Spirit, God can!”

“I like the idea that grief is the antidote to trauma. It’s the healthy response to loss.”

“When we’re inspired to “do something spiritual,” it’s natural to skip to the second part—living differently. We try to remember to pray more. We try to remember to read the Bible more. We read more books. We listen to more podcasts. We try to remember to tell people about Christ and what He’s doing for us. We have forgotten Jesus’ words: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Instead, we’ve accepted this American “Christianity” that boasts, “The Lord helps those who help themselves.” Again, the difference between dependence and independence.”
― Megan Fate Marshman, Relaxed: Walking with the One Who Is Not Worried about a Thing
