2 Quotes by Holly Dickson-Ramos

For many of us, life is complicated. Challenging. We battle illness, longing for many things: to be loved, to live meaningful lives, to enjoy just one day without symptoms, without triggering a condition, to feel capable of nurturing our loved ones the way we want to, to be defined not by a condition or a diagnosis, but by our inner selves - the person God sees when He looks at us.

It is only in the presence of God that we find the relief that comes from being ourselves - exposing all of our brokenness - and knowing that He is not disappointed. His love doesn't waver. We are His. He has adopted us. He wants us, even when we have nothing to give.
