"In college, my best friend confessed his most secret sin to our pastor. Sitting on our pastor's deep set porch, he told him what he was most ashamed of. Then my pastor said something that utterly transformed my friend: "We need you in our church, not in spite of your struggle but because of it."

" The Psalms express every human emotion, but taken up again and again, they never simply leave us as we are. They change us. The transformation they effect isn't to turn our sadness into happiness. They don't take grieving people and make them annoyingly peppy and optimistic.
They form us into a people who can hold the depths of our sorrow with utter honesty even as we hold to the promises of God."
