Strength comes from quiet and confident trust in God.
When understood and taken to God, emotions create an intimate relationship with God and friends like no other.
The longer you do something, the easier it becomes to forget why you started doing it. This can happen to us with Christianity. If you have a seared conscience, these steps will help your heart heal.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
