First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906 - 1945

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Do not waste time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this, we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.

One of the most basic skills in a marriage is the ability to tell the straight, unvarnished truth about what your spouse has done – and then, completely, unself-righteously, and joyously express forgiveness without a shred of superiority, without making the other person feel small.

When you find yourself superstressed, highly emotional, and unable to function because of something that has occurred, it is important to separate what has happened TO you from what is going on INSIDE you. If you sense you may be overreacting to a bad situation, or if you feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, you should ask yourself, Why is this hitting me so hard? Am I reacting this way because of what is actually occurring, or am I reacting so strongly because of what has occurred in the past?

God is longing to take your burden and carry it for you, but He won't force you to let go of it. You must do that yourself. You must take the risk and, in faith, entrust it all into His care. He says to you, "Then and only then, will you know that I am God." (See Psalm 55:22-23)
