trust

You can not be the judge of another's wishes. If you love someone, you must believe that they know what is best for themselves.

In a relationship, when trust is lost, everything is lost.

Marriage is not easy, I thought to myself. It__ not supposed to be easy. It__ two different people, from two different backgrounds, trying to build a life together for better or worse. It__ something you have to work at every single day. There are going to be hard times and those are the times you are supposed to fight like hell.

the demons that make a person afraid are the hardest to cast out.

No, Harry, you listen," said Hermione. "We're coming with you. That was decided months ago - years, really.

Spread your courtesy across the door posts of everyone you know, but reserve your intimacy with the little trustworthy friends who are going where you are going. Get it simply: wide courtesy, narrow intimacy!

I thought I lost you again. You couldn__ know what those four years were like. To not know where you were, who you were with, or if you were being treated well? I wasn__ sure for a long time if you were even alive. I don__ ever want to go through that again._ Vance... The Elder Effect

I learned that within the confines of God__ story, nothing had been stolen from me, but rather everything was given to me. My life, which felt so out of control, was in reality in complete control _ God__ control.

For Luther, it (faith) is an undeviating, trusting outlook appointment life, a constant stance of the trustworthiness of the promises of God.

Mostly I think I've learned to trust God more. I mean, if I start getting worried or freaked, I just try to put it in God's hands. Sometimes I imagine God cradling the globe in his hands, and I tell myself that as long as I'm with God, the Creator of the universe, I can be comfortable and at home anyplace on the planet.

Hannah's faith was the answer to her stress. And, through that faith, she found peace, even though her life remained far from peaceful. Her faith resulted in God working on her behalf. Hannah did not find peace because she left a stressful situation _ she found peace because she had learned to depend on God__ strength to rise above her stress.

Evan to Bethany: "Just trust me.""You say it like it's so easy.""Of course it's not.""Then how am I supposed to 'just trust' you?""Funny thing about trust...Sometimes you have to give it before you can experience it.

Why couldn__ I find one action that would make the need to binge automatically disappear? Because there is no magic action to make that horrible prebinge feeling go away. The cool thing is that we are designed so that the feeling will pass through us on its own__n time. All we have to do is sit there and feel what is going on inside of us. We must experience the feelings. To help us deal with the feelings, we can call someone on our support team. We can also express the feelings by focusing on our breath or even hitting a pillow. The important thing to remember is that no matter how terrible, feelings do pass. It takes patience and trust__ot food . . .

Sometimes you don't realize your fear of heights until you stand at the edge of the cliff, ready to jump.

Many in the church have turned their back on serious study, and have embraced an anti-intellectualism which refuses to learn anything from scholarship at all lest it corrupt their pure faith. It is time to end this standoff, and to reestablish a hermeneutic of trust (itself a sign of the gospel!) in place of the hermeneutic of suspicion which the church has so disastrously borrowed from the postmodern world.

Until you have experienced the true love of God, you will continue to accept his or her version of love and call it faith. #ChooseToWin

I hope I can never trust my wife. If I trust her it means I know her. If I know her it means I understand her. If I understand her it means I can control her, and if I can control her it would make her boring and uninteresting_ Dear god I hope I can never trust my wife_
