Emotional Virtue Quotes

“I had to surrender; I had to wave the white flag-- not in defeat, but in victory. For the first time in my life, I realized that I couldn't do this on my own. But what was more amazing was the understanding that I didn't have to do it all on my own-- and even that I wasn't supposed to do it all on my own. I finally grasped the truth that I had to surrender my life to the One... the only One who could put the pieces back together, the One who could comfort me, love me, accept me, forgive me, and give me permission to forgive myself. I was not lost, hope was not lost. I was not abandoned-- I was loved.”
