“There is only one measure of true success, child. How close you remain by His side. Does the dust of His feet get on your cloak because you follow so close? Does the sound of His whisper reverberate in your ear because you have drawn so near? Are you obedient to that voice, day after day, hour after hour? That’s how I measure success. Do you understand?”

“Sunset is my favorite time of day. It’s that time when the world unwinds. When the craziness of the day fades away and, even as darkness starts creeping in, the light somehow manages to prevail. When every day—good or bad—comes to an end and I get to look forward to starting over again in a few short hours.”
― Taylor Bennett, Promise Me Aloha

“I am beginning to see that much of praying is grieving. This grief is so deep not just because the human sin is so great, but also—and more so—because the divine love is so boundless. To become like the Father whose only authority is compassion, I have to shed countless tears and so prepare my heart to receive anyone, whatever their journey has been, and forgive them from that heart.”
