Maturity is not given or automatic, but must be cultivated.

When it seems as though our lives are undergoing radical pruning, all we can see are the places where good and promising things once existed.

I have discovered that every change – even a welcome one – carries with it some form of grief.

While each of us responds to bad news differently, God is not looking for a spiritual performance from any of us.

Don't camp at the site of your betrayal. Don't build a monument to your pain.

When you forgive, you're not letting them off the hook—you're taking yourself off the hook.

Betrayal disguises itself as love. It uses intimacy as a tool for harm.

Love doesn't mean trusting someone who's proven untrustworthy.
