You can't edit reality to try and force healing. You can't fake yourself into being okay with what happened. But you can decide that the one who hurt you doesn't get to decide what you do with your memories. Your life can be a graceful combination of beautiful and painful.

The U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics.

Don't let your experience of God up to this point limit what you might enjoy with him in the coming years.

Fear not that life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.

You're not to wallow, but if you don't process your regrets, then they remain emotional underground toxins.

Never worry about anything that is past. Charge it up to experience and forget the trouble. There are always plenty of troubles ahead, so don't turn and look back on any behind you.

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.

We all remember epochs in our experience when some dear expectation dies, or some new motive is born.

Your destiny is not cancelled because of a mistake, because of a failure. Get back up and go again.

We shed skins in life, to keep living.

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

Remembering to forget the past allows you freedom from a past that holds back your Christian growth.
