Emotional Healing Through Scripture Quotes

“As you’ll discover again and again, the way out of pain is to sit with it, experience it, understand it, engage with it, and learn from it. Paradoxically, this propels you into developing new ways of seeing and being that are more joyous and contented than before you experienced this pain. That is why Jesus implores you to focus on the here and now, and not on projections into tomorrow: Because focusing on your heart here and now is the way to healing, while obsessing about the future ensures your heart will remain in the pain it’s already in. Your heart will not receive healing attention when you focus on tomorrow.”

“Planting a garden that yields fresh, delicious food requires you to engage with the dirt first. It requires going down into the ground. We often want the harvest without first going down into the dirt. As you’ll discover, the scriptures invite us into the dirt. They don’t invite us there to inflict a sense of worthlessness—no, not at all. They invite us into the dirt because that’s where we can safely break open and absorb the necessary nutrients to transform into something new.”
