what I'm reading: one moment with the cross from Octavius Winslow

Here's a quote that sums up everything I've learnt about change during the last two years - and a personal favourite.

One moment’s believing, close contact with the cross will do more to break the heart for sin, deepen the conviction of its exceeding sinfulness, and disenthrall the soul from all its bondage and its fears, bringing it into a sense of pardon and acceptance and assured hope, than a lifetime of the most rigid legal duties that ever riveted their iron chain upon the soul.


Quote is from Octavius Winslow The Foot of the Cross HT Of First Importance.

My spouse and I made a decision that changed our lives when we found a marriage counselor in cincinnati. Arguments brought up old, unsolved concerns that we were both carrying around. Our counselor assisted us in identifying the sources of our communication issues and in developing healthy coping mechanisms. I strongly advise anyone in the Cincinnati region who is experiencing relationship difficulties or emotional exhaustion to seek out professional counseling. If you want to feel better and get back together, this is a great first step.
