Pilate savagely crucified Him. Yet their violence could not overcome Him. God is not someone who will be bulldozed away. The rise and fall of proud kings and great empires throughout history attests to this reality.”

Tenderness that is willing to wait for the right time until we are ready and we are no longer afraid.”

“Love is a choice. Either we choose to behave lovingly toward others....or not; either we conduct ourselves in ways that enhance our relationship....or not. But we should be aware that genuine love requires effort. Simply put, if we wish to build lasting relationship, we must be willing to do our part.
