“I wondered then if there could ever be trust in a relationship based from the outset upon deceiving other people.”

“The original in man is that which articulates him from the very outset upon something other than himself.”

“I used to think I was content, but now I could see that my contentment was based upon how well I controlled the circumstances of my life, not upon my trust in a loving God.”

“Part of me could do it. Run off and get married. But another part... Another part of me wondered if I could really trust anyone. If all relationships were all doomed.”

“The apostle Paul wrote that he'd learned to be content in whatever circumstances he was in. I used to think I was content, but now I could see that my contentment was based upon how well I controlled the circumstances of my life, not upon my trust in a loving God.”

“Just remember that this relationship is based on mutual trust and respect, so never reveal your true self.”
