Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve.
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
Love is not the limitation; love is the flying.
I give you an ability to respond and your response is to be free to love and serve in every situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful.
If anything matters, then everything matters.
I have moments that aren’t too bad, but there’s always something I’m struggling with, or feeling guilty about. I just figured I needed to try harder, but I find it difficult to sustain that motivation.
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
I don’t need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It’s not my purpose to punish it; it’s my joy to cure it.
The intricacy and the inherent beautiful fragility of the human soul is such that it is uniquely damaged and only God knows how to heal it, and it’s going to take time.
Transformation without work and pain, without suffering, without a sense of loss is just an illusion of true change.
This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
It is impossible for you to take power over the future because it isn’t even real.
Disconnect your identity from what you produce, and that’s a hard thing for us because we think of our significance, worth and value based on what we do instead of who we are.
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
I’m an accidental writer.
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
You are free to love without an agenda.
