Attending the funeral of a friendship is such a harrowing experience. The love turns cordial then cold. There is no body. No eulogy. No casket. Just a wake. An awakening. Memories held in present light, fading under a faithful sun.
Blending in the darkness of night.
In your 20s, friendships often form out of proximity—college, coworkers, nightlife. By your 30s, you realize friendships are a choice—and not everyone makes the cut.
Only clueless people tell others to not judge others while they're judging them for judging others.
We're to judge righteously and not in a condemnatory way. No one can live or go through a day without judging or discerning between good and evil. It's absurd!
If someone is falling behind in life, you don't have to remind them. They already know.
If someone is struggling in their relationships, with money, with self-image, they know.
It's what consumes their thoughts each day.
LOVE THEM WHERE THEY ARE.
Numbers of easy-minded people wink at error so long as it is committed by a clever man and a good-natured brother, who has so many fine points about him. ~Charles Spurgeon
you probably don’t have the best life story and neither do i. but it’s your story. read the old chapters sometimes. write the new ones with improved penmanship despite what the world may do to your pages.
don’t feel pressured to make your life look like everyone else’s. just because it’s happening for them right now, doesn’t mean it’s time for you. there is no need to rush, enjoy where God has you NOW.
You can’t legislate morality…
Morality is a heart condition. All the laws of the Pharisees could not change their hearts. It always starts with the heart.
If there was one super power I wish I had, it would be the ability to forget movies. So I can rewatch for the first time again and experience pure bliss.
