“Is grace given recklessly? No, it is not. It's given through sacrifice, rooted in the preciousness of love and life. It's given by surrendering to the One who laid down His life. It is a recognition that without the hope offered by the Savior who so willingly gives, who overcomes evil, we will live in fear. In the clutches of fear that suffocates and drains us. No. Grace is costly. But it is ours. And in receiving it, we find out weakness infused with His strength. His hope. His future. Live it.”

“There were so many beliefs these days, so many theories and philosophies, yet if she dared not ask if God was real, and why He allowed evil to exist in the world, then how could she ever know the truth? How could she stop being afraid when the truth had no standard and no foundation, but instead was whatever a person made up to make themself feel better?”

“I don't believe love and loss are limited by the boundaries of time,' Mama says. 'Scripture says that in heaven we'll know love in full, but loss we'll never know again.”

“The notion that time healed and lessened pain was a myth. Time merely mocked the absence, taunting, heralding the missing pieces that could never be replaced again by anyone.”
