Why truth matters when we love — “Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.” — Psalm 27:6, DRA We must be true in our relationships. We must be able to trust. And whom can we trust but those who could tell us what is true? By living in truth, we…

A brief reflection on how to defeat the darkness — “You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before…

And what you can do when you feel guilty letting go — It isn’t easy to let go of a relationship. When you’ve known each other for a long period of time, the other person has become so much a part of your life that you feel like losing a part of yourself when the time comes to say goodbye.
