“We can carry the burden of hurt throughout our lives. We can make the hurt that we have experienced the defining aspect of our stories of ourselves. That means that somebody else gets to say who we are, somebody else gets to decide how we feel, and somebody else gets to decide how we see the world. Forgiveness not only frees us from the burden of someone else's opinion of us, but it allows us the opportunity to really write a story of ourselves that we can love, enjoy, relish, and live into.” WorldFeelsWritingMeanStoriesOpportunityEnjoyHurtOpinionOur LivesAspectBurdenWho We AreDefiningRelish Author:Desmond Tutu

“If people like us, our life is good. If somebody doesn't like us, our whole life is tanked. That happens at your job, especially in church ministry. It seems like everybody's your boss sometimes. You're trying to keep everybody happy and pretty soon you realize you're filling yourself up with other people's opinions of you. That's a dangerous place to live.” PeopleIfsTryingSometimesWholeSeemsHappensJobsLife IsRealizingChurchOpinionOur LivesDangerousWhole LifeBossMinistryFillingPlaces To LiveLife Is GoodDangerous PlacesChurch Ministry Author:Mark Hall
