“You are telling yourself lies and believing them. Instead of putting the oil of truth on those scars, you are allowing them to grow thicker. If you do not stretch those scars, tug at them, force movement into them, then they will continue to have a hold over you.”

“But until you accept the storms, and stop blaming yourself for them, you will not see how Yahweh has blessed you with them.”

although Yaakov’s sons meant to destroy their brother, Yahweh meant to show his goodness.”

“Without witnessing the mercilessness of an evil king, we would not appreciate the kindness of our own. Without the bitterness of slavery, we wouldn’t know the sweetness of freedom. Without the blackness of the night sky, there would be no stars.”

“We have to endure the storms, dear one, so we know how deep our roots go. So we can appreciate the depths of our strength and the freshness of the gentle breezes afterward.”
