I am always quiet so that I know what to say when I must speak.
We are the ones who have distanced ourselves from God and then we've blamed him for the distance.
In a lot of minds, God is big enough to raise dead people, but He's not big enough to deal with our running.
We don't forgive because people deserve it, we forgive so we can see again.
Father I am waiting, I need to hear from You, to know that You're approving, of what I say and do, cause nothing really satisfies, like when You speak my name, so tell me that You'll never leave and everything will be okay. In Your presence, all fear is gone. . . in Your presence, is where I belong.
Always, at the end of every book, there are things you will be unsatisfied with, and still more things that later on you will realize were not right. But mistakes are part of what a book is. That itchy, dissatisfied feeling at the end of a novel is useful. It's what keeps you writing and gets you writing the next one. It's what keeps you learning.
I can pretty much get in touch with my evil side pretty easily.
So little knows Any, but God alone, but perverts best things To worst abuse, or to their meanest use.
Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness. It is the aroma of life, lived in harmony with high ideals. For what a man has he may be dependent upon others; what he is rests with him alone.
