“It seems we need someone to know us as we are - with all we have done - and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me. Please.”
“We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve”
“But the same badness which makes us need it, makes us unable to do it [repent]. Can we do it if God helps us? Yes.”
“By accepting God's love for us, we fall in love with Him, and only then do we have the fuel we need to obey.”
“When we surrender when we do not fight with life when it calls upon us we are lifted and the strength to do what needs to be done finds us.”
