Depending on anything or anyone but our relationships with Jesus for our emotional healing is simply an ineffective numbing device. Whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, s*x, shopping, or any other vice, it will only act as a temporary fix to a long-term consequence. As Stephen Arterburn states in his book, Healing is a Choice, "We become hooked on the numbing device during the process of trying to return to the state of numbness. That dependency causes additional consequences and pain, and our lives spin helplessly out of control until we come to the conclusion that there is only one way out. We must finally feel the emotions we dreaded. We must reenter the pain, resolve it, and then move on with our lives, connected to others, feeling the reality of what we are experiencing right now, no matter how uncomfortable it is."

"May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins." - Colossians 1:11-14

"Biblically defined purpose is that we might worship God and enjoy Him forever. Apart from that, man has no other purpose; man wanders in a spiritual disorientation taking him further from finding his created purpose." - A.W. Tozer & Caleb Sinclair in "The Message of the Bible: Relationship of Man with God Through Christ" (p. 8).

"Contingent faith is the faith of sidewalk chalk: it’s beautiful when the sun shines, but it washes away when the rain falls."

"The more this cycle is repeated in a relationship, the cycle becomes completely automatic, even expected, and people unthinkingly play out their parts. She says something in that tone of voice. He doesn’t pick up when she phones. She is perpetually offended. He pouts when he doesn’t get his way. This conflict is the foundation for couples who look at the framed wedding photo and wonder what happened to their happily ever after."
