“In reality, to quote G. K. Chesterton, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”2 Or perhaps it might be more accurately said of our time that Christianity has not been presented and therefore has been left untried.”
― Skye Jethani, With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God

“It is precisely the presence and help of Christ in times of suffering that makes it possible for us to stand up under pressure.”
― R.C. Sproul, Surprised by Suffering: The Role of Pain and Death in The Christian Life

“He has made us stewards of the presence of God. It is not as though we can manipulate and use His presence for our own religious purposes. We are moved upon by the Holy Spirit, thereby becoming co-laborers with Christ.”

“Today is a day when I can be meditative instead of frantic, rhythmic instead of chaotic, positive instead of negative, loving instead of resentful, and a wise child instead of an immature adult. Today is a day in the forest, a day of sweet breezes, a day of clean laundry. Today is a day to settle accounts, to make things balance, to check a few things off of my list. Today is a day to laugh with my kids, to notice them, to call their beauty out. Today is a day to knit with my friends, to listen to words of wisdom, to make bridges between our hearts. Today is a day to reach out, and a day to rest in near silence. Today anything can happen.”
