"But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ." 
Ephesians 4:15
"I need your loving grace to travel on this hard road that 
leads to the death of my old self and to a new life in and for you. 
I know and trust that this is the road to freedom."
Henri J. M. Nouwen, A Cry for Mercy
