What can't be helped must be endured.

The mercy of the world is time. Time does not stop for love, but it does not stop for death and grief, either.

Waking up from a dream of violence is much the same as waking up from a dream of love. You must go on living your life.

Pain is weakness leaving your body

Love is an amazing thing. It takes the brokenness, the scars, the pain, the darkness, everything, and makes it all new.

You and I... we never really finished our conversation, but I can tell you this... living with a broken heart is living half dead, and that doesn't mean you're half alive. It means you're half dead. And... that's no way to live.

My life has been real different than I thought. Ain't turned out how I hoped . . . nor dreamt. But I'm not the only man in the world to get screwed by life. Lots are worse off than me. That's life. You take the bad with the good. Rise up through it. Live in the midst of it. It's the bad that lets you know how good the good really is. Don't let the bad leave you thinking like there ain't no good. There is, and lots of it, too.

We, all of us, have been affected by war, hurricanes, drought, economic hardship. The result is a disease—an epidemic—called 'hopelessness.' It's carried on the air around here, and I am fighting it."

God is able to take your life, with all of the heartache, all of the pain, all of the regret, all of the missed opportunities, and use you for His glory.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.
