The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller
This month, my husband and I decided to read through The Meaning of Marriage by Tim Keller.
Doubt and disillusionment are the last of all reasons to abandon your faith. If you weather them with God—and with others—you discover the unexpected gratitude Charles Spurgeon wrote about.
“Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.
“If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give—the ability to influence.” ―Shannon L.
Love would ensure compassion even for those who did wrong, while still enabling fierce pursuit of the truth. Love, they told me, had to be the motivation.
Making diverse friendships and building diverse communities is hard work for everyone, and requires attention, careful thought, and sacrificial love.
Every act, every decision, every thought will move you either a little closer to being that kind of person [you want to become]—or push you a little further away.
God invites us to stand courageously facing the future, acknowledging the truth—then open our hands and hearts and dreams to him . . . and release.
