Quote by Ron Acosta

“The antidote for emotional and psychological scarring is not in the performance of more religious acts, more volunteering, or doing more church, as much as it is not in having the right spouse, more success, more money, or material gain. The formula is just too simple: I must come clean in order to get clean—no matter what side of the issue or hurt that I’m on.”
