"...The best marriages are served with an extra helping of acceptance of one another's peccadilloes. And that's the beauty of marriage. All of our individualities, all of our wonderful differences. You gotta have friction. You can't get any heat without friction. We would do well, they say, to expect non-perfection; practice patience and give the acceptance we want in return. There's no doubt that this is hard work, but judging by the end result, it's well worth the effort."

"...We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

"Pride is a cunning, deceitful snake that lurks in every believer's fallen nature. Its origin is the devil, and it's ugliness is repulsive when put beside the beauty of humility of the Lord Jesus. Pride has a thousand disguises, but regardless of which one it may use there is always the same putrid smell. Because it is so deceitful, the one who does not choose to be humble by the Lord's grace is totally unaware of it ugly attitudes, and deeds. The Christian who is proud is not aware of his own bad breath that is offensive to others. Pride always wants to be somebody before others. Seeing the beauty of Jesus' humility causes one to despise their own pride and diligently pursue the humble way before God and others. Only the spirit of God can produce in us the lovely humility of the Lord Jesus."

"And my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn away from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
