Love people enough to let them go. Love God too much to ever let go.
Personal responsibility is so much more important than any lawyer's arguments. If only the justice system could see that.
It is foolish to think that you have all the answers.
You can beat yourself up for as long as you want, but the fact remains you can't make people's choices for them.
Love covers a multitude of sins. (Praise be!)
Once God's love has Changed Your heart, nothing can be the same.
Compared to God, my love for others must be forfeit. If I love someone else "too much" to let God be God in their life...that's not love: that's poison being poured straight into their opening, bleeding heart.
There is something amazingly freeing about laying down my concerns before the foot of the cross. God knew what He was doing when He made a way for us to come to Him; He offers peace, joy, love, hope, faithfulness, stability in a sinful, darkened, fallen world.
Love never fails - if you ever say that you love someone, that means hat you are promising for the rest of your life to desire God's will to be done in their life first and foremost.
