“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel.” LyingSpeakHurtUnitedComfortSucceedErrorsHealHatedTelling The TruthDividedFalsehoodMultitudesSpeak The TruthStand Alone Author:Adrian Rogers
“Essentially, if our secrets are secrets because we are told to be ashamed, then we must share them. There is no shame in being sad or struggling or trying to heal. We are all desperate, depraved and sacred. We are all terrible and brillIant. I can list all the things that can make a girl want to escape her own body (re: patriarchy). But I’d rather list all the things that make me want to stay in my body, and adorn it like a home, rub oils into my skin, tell it how sorry I am for trying to leave, for trying to hurt it into submission” IfsWantTryingI CanHomeBodyGirlHurtSecretStruggleShareTerribleSkinsShameSacredSorryOilBrilliantListsHealDesperateAshamedPatriarchySubmissionDepravedBeing Sad Author:Warsan Shire

“When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsPersonsHappensPastHurtPayResponsibilityEnemyHonestAdvantageForgivingInjusticeHealRevelationsTaking ResponsibilityVindicated Author:Joyce Meyer

“Anytime I get an acting role, I find a way to learn about something new, or heal a part of my life that I didn't know was hurting. I think anybody could benefit from taking acting classes. You don't necessarily have to want to be an actor or pursue the acting business. But just taking an acting class, you're going to learn so much about life and what it's like to walk in somebody else's shoes. It helps you stop judging people. It does something to you where you become empathetic to people's plights and journeys, and it makes you a little more understanding and caring.” PeopleThinkingHelpingUnderstandingHurtActingJourneyJudgingCaringHealSomething NewEmpathetic Author:Travis Aaron Wade
