Quotes by James Bonk (?)

“It’s okay, child. I love you. You are not ready for that gift yet, but come, be with me, and you will have love. You will have peace. You will have gifts that make your worries melt away. Seek me. Look inside yourself and you will find me. I never left. Talk to me in prayer. My love is in you. You have the greatest gift already. I gave you my son. The blood of life was spilled for you. Do not forget that gift. I gave it to you because I love you.”
― James Bonk, Light of the Ark
