The Edge of Hope Quotes

“that nothing can break. No distance, no circumstance, no power, can rend it. There is no darkness, no storm that can put out its light. It is that which inspires us, encourages us, heals us, binds us one to another in innumerable ways of the heart and soul. And every step in between, no matter how difficult, is ordered and protected. Love is the song from which the One-Who-Is-Three sings us into being. It is love that calls us home to itself. It is love from which we spring and love to which we return. In the end, it is always love that saves us.”

“And because, at its core, the life force is pleasure itself, when the life current becomes distorted, pleasure does too. It becomes twisted. Dark. And this twisted pleasure is the source of evil. It is pleasure derived from the suffering of others. Hatred, cruelty, revenge; all have a pleasurable element to them. There is a cathartic release in unleashing one’s anger. Very few will admit to this; however, it is true.”
― Leigh Roberts, The Edge of Hope

“Only by forgiving you will I be able to reclaim that part of me that is still imprisoned in the pain of the past.”
― Leigh Roberts, The Edge of Hope

“But until you reach forgiveness, the wrongdoing that was inflicted holds power over you.”
― Leigh Roberts, The Edge of Hope

“forgiveness is not born of a singular point in time. Forgiveness ebbs and flows, and just when you think you have grasped it, it can slide out of reach. It must be won again and again. And each time, it is not an easy victory.”
― Leigh Roberts, The Edge of Hope
