Notes and Quotes:
“A sense in my spirit told me, ‘You need to forgive him, and there’s no guarantee that anything is going to come as a result of you forgiving him.’” —Dorothy Littell Greco
“Owning and being present is such a hard discipline to do, because oftentimes the thing we want to do is to be comforted and [it] makes us feel better about a certain circumstance.” —Dorothy Littell Greco
“We have to be willing to invite other people into the broken places if we want to grow, and if we want to be accountable . . . we want to want real health over the appearance of health.” —Dorothy Littell Greco
To me, sanctification is about spending the entirety of our lives figuring out how to be more and more like Jesus. And when we’re more and more like Jesus, it’s going to benefit everybody.” —Dorothy Littell Greco
“A great question to ask each other is, ‘What do you need from me in this season?’” —Dorothy Littell Greco
