Sheila Walsh said this quote

“ Perhaps, too, in the shift-the-blame society we live in, we have forgotten how to weep over our sins. David, the psalm writer, said, When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long (Psalm 32:3). I wonder if so many of us rush off to self-help groups because we have lost the ability to be real in our churches. ”

There are some of you here today who feel like dead people. It is as if you are already six feet under, staring up at the top of your own locked coffin. This morning Jesus wants to set you free. You simply have to let go of the key and pass it through the little hole, where you see a tiny shaft of light.

~ Sheila Walsh

The Father is truly the only Promise Maker who is in earnest a Promise Keeper. A promise from God is a promise kept.

~ Sheila Walsh

But the witness of the substitutionary atonement of Jesus is that God's most difficult promise has been kept.

~ Sheila Walsh

Sometimes we simply don't want to face the truth about ourselves; the myth reads so much better. Sometimes we do not seek help because it will mean we have to change, and change is painful and unpredictable. To me, now, faith is bringing all that is true about our lives into the blinding light of God's grace. It is believing that He will still be there at the end of the journey, and so will we, perhaps a little bloodied, probably with a limp, and possibly, as the Skin Horse said, with most of our hair loved off, but we will be there.
