“Suffering digs to the very core of your soul and tests you, far below the shallowness of who you previously thought God was. Suffering asks, Are you really going to trust the Lord? Are you really going to worship the Lord? Are you really going to serve Him?

“The joy of the Lord indeed was our strength. That joy was possible because joy does not come from circumstances that can change with the result of a test or a sudden pain. Joy comes from having a relationship with the unchanging God and transcends any trial we can face on earth.”

“Hospitality requires daily Bible reading, deep repentance, dark mornings in solitude, and the daily willingness to forgive others whether or not they ask”

Pg. 58-58 Section 5 🙌🏼

“Our fleshly reactions are always rooted in some functional disbelief in the gospel. You'll never communicate more poorly than when being right becomes integral to your identity, when feeling disrespected is an assault on your worth, and when fixing injustice is your sole responsibility. Remembering the sufficiency of Christ in hard moments changes everything.”

“The goal in communication is always to advance your relationship and enhance your intimacy. Yes, you will need to discuss daily tasks and mundane life to-dos, but even benign conversations can either help or hurt your overall communication climate and relational intimacy.“

“The effects of good and bad communication are magnified in marriage because of how close you are to one another. You share unprecedented access to each other‘s hearts. Your words, if misused, can cause damage. But they can also bring healing.”
