“Because I care so much about what you think, my hiding has everything to do with you. I desperately want to manage your opinion of me. Nearly anything I do is to convince you I am good.”
― Emily P. Freeman, Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life

“Humility is nothing else but a right judgment of ourselves.”
― William Law

“You pray. And you allow the Lord to be your strength. Remember the Lord doesn't give you strength. He is your strength.”
― Lynn Austin, Song of Redemption

“No, Hezekiah...no.. I don't deserve forgiveness. He lifted his head to look at her. None of us do. But God doesn't treat us as our sins deserve. He took her hands in his. I should have shown you that. I should have shown you my God instead of making you serve a God you didn't know. I only showed you his rules and laws. But God doesn't want us to worship Him out of fear. He is our Father, and He wants us to learn to love Him with all our heart and all our soul and all our strength. I should have helped you know Him.”
― Lynn Austin, The Strength of His Hand
