On necessity of suffering: “Without it, growth would be impossible. There would be no opportunity for hearts to unfold, to blossom, like they were meant to. The only thing that truly crushes our hearts is our unwillingness to let go. Let go of our need to control. Let go of our need to know the answers to our questions. No amount of suffering is truly have the enough to crush us completely unless we let it. It only has the power that we give it. Let go.” – Ted Dekker
