Nadia Bolz-Weber Quote
When what seems to be depression or compulsive eating or narcissism or despair or discouragement or resentment or isolation takes over, try picturing it as a vulnerable and desperate force seeking to defy God’s grace and mercy in your life. And then tell it to piss off and say defiantly to it, I am baptized or I am God’s, because nothing else gets to tell you who you are.
