“I speak the Truth, that's who I am"...This phrase is often a declaration by some, a sign of strength, or integrity. But...There are truths about me that are none of your business. There are truths about you that are none of my business, either. If I were to use yours against you, or you use mine against me, we would indeed be speaking the truth, but it would not erase the hatred and meanness that also describes us. There is no strength in that. And there's sure no integrity in it either” TruthStrengthHonorIntegrity Author:Lee Goff
“Lucifer was quite right when he said he had the most powerful force against good at his disposal. Powerful factions of the world were siding with him. They were unaware, but the devil cared nothing for whether they knew or not. One day they would know, however. For an eternity. That thought pleased him greatly.” EvilDevilSatanLucifer Book:A Rage Like Thunder Source: A Rage Like Thunder
“Sometimes the strongest thing you will ever do will be to let go of someone. It will be painful, you will suffer guilt, and you will second-guess yourself, but for your own sanity and quality of life, there will come a time where you hand them to God, with your love, and trust Him to be who and what He is. May our Lord comfort you.” LifeInspirationalGodLetting GoHolding On Author:Lee Goff
“We love someone, so we care. That love can morph into feeling responsible for them, then into we're accountable, then into we're to blame for their self-inflicted pain; then it's our fault if they crash and burn; then the fear causes us to hold on even tighter. Walk this in reverse until you get back to, "we love, we care". Now, love with wisdom. Step one in placing someone's life into His hands.” PeopleLifeGodRelationshipsLetting Go Author:Lee Goff
“The prideful man qualifies himself by what people think of him, always looking for applause. There is another proud man; head bloodied by the world but eyes focused on what is good, never caring about spectators or the cost. He is proud that his wife can laugh, that his children can play, humbled by their love for him. His prayers say, "Please make me worthy of them" - In humility lies the foundation of strength.” FamilyMarriageSacrificeStrengthHumilityPrideProudHusbandMan Author:Lee Goff
“They saw her husband, this giant of a man in God’s Kingdom, this man, that for over fifteen years was their example of what a great man and husband looked like, walking up to his weeping wife, gently embracing her, soothing her, lifting and holding her soul up high while she released her own pains and worries from the last two days, feeling him, leaning into him, and submitting her pain and fears to her husband out of her love and trust. His strength was shown in his softness. He was made strong in his wife’s pain. He was her man of God” InspirationalWifeHusbandHusband And WifeGood HusbandMan Of God Book:A Wrath Like Thunder Source: A Wrath Like Thunder
“Sometimes the door closes on a relationship, not because we failed but because something bigger than us says this no longer fits our life. So, lock the door, shed a tear, turn around and look for the new door that's opened. It's a sign that you're no longer that person you were, it's time to change into who you are. It's going to be okay.” GrowthRelationshipsChangeLetting GoClosure Author:Lee Goff
“I remember my wife's birthday, but forget how old she is; I forget our anniversary date, but never forget we're married. I remember the days when women I didn't know would smile at me because they thought I was nice looking, then smile to myself because the memory of that time is enough. I especially give thanks that the phrase, "I know better" is on the tip of my tongue, Finally, I found out Christ has a sense of humor, He has some pretty cool jokes, and boy oh boy, can He tell some stories, especially stories that involve me. Growing old is not the bad thing I thought it would be, especially since growing older is still on the table. But some of those stories He tells.....damn....I didn't realize I made Him laugh so much. But I did. And that's not an entirely bad thing” AgeJesusChristMarriageMaturityRememberingGrowing Older Author:Lee Goff
