4 Quotes by Debra Landwehr Engle

I used to think that forgiveness meant letting someone off the hook, denying that their betrayal hurt my soul. But now I can see forgiveness in a whole new light. I need to forgive myself for expecting this world, my life, to be different from how it is, to arrange itself according to my expectations.

It's hard to believe how life sneaks up on you and accumulates until you don't even know how buried you are in the past, how much it encroaches on the present, and squeezes all the energy out of it.

While the world piles fear on top of light, our job is to remember that light within. When we do, whatever seems to conceal it ceases to exist

This is why we’re in relationships. To remember who we are. To know the love within us rather than the bitterness.
