Welcome to Litsy!

This felt like a lecture from a dad to a daughter about how she should behave in a very christian manner which isnt always realistic.

“...the ground is always level at the foot of the cross.”

The only way to hear truth is in an atmosphere of love.

Hope in God. Hope in His principles, hope in people of trustworthy character, and hope in your own growth. Those are truly good reasons for hope. But don‘t throw hope away on things which have no reality behind them. That kind of hope makes the heart sick.

“Hope is one of the greatest of virtues.....Hope drives great things to happen when all seems lost. If someone can keep hope going, then through faith and love, great things can be accomplished. Hope is surely a wonderful virtue, for without it we give up and give in to all sorts of evil. We need it to persevere. “

This chapter is discussing boundaries in dating as it relates to not letting the person you‘re in a relationship with make all the decisions about how you two spend your time and not letting that person change you into someone you‘re not.

Y‘ALL I know there‘s some significant truth within the statement above, but I laughed so hard!! 😂😭🤣

Living in the Great Lakes State, if I ever found myself in this scenario, this could be real life! 😳

Your values are the architecture of who you are.

Be a person of the light, and people of the light will be drawn to you, and people of the darkness will not be able to tolerate the truth you embody.

“.....dating is not a place for you to rehabilitate people. Rehabilitation should occur in that person‘s counseling, recovery, discipleship, or some other context.”

It is one thing to have loved and lost. It is another thing to have loved and been lied to.
