Notes and Quotes:

“When you get to a place in your relationship—it doesn’t matter what relationship it is—and you give and you give and you give and what you think you deserve in return isn’t reciprocated, a sense of entitlement starts to live in your heart and that person can never repay you all that you think that they owe.” —Justin Davis

“You can’t heal a wound you don’t give a name to.” —Justin Davis

“Rock bottom is still solid surface to stand. God is unshakable. He is our solid foundation. Even when the world wipes us out, when relationships wipe us out, God is our firm foundation.” —Trisha Davis

“We were so concerned with building the church, we forgot to build into each other and build into who we were.” —Justin Davis

“There is a journey that we have to allow people to go on. On that journey, eventually you see your prism of pain as how God shows up so much brighter—in different arrays of color that we couldn’t see with our rose-colored glasses.” —Trisha Davis

Verses:

Hebrews 12:5-11
