with longing for a girl.”

“The splendor of a human heart that trusts it is loved unconditionally gives God more pleasure than Westminster Cathedral, the Sistine Chapel, Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony”, Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, the sight of 10,000 butterflies in flight, or the scent of a million orchids in bloom. Trust is our gift back to God, and he finds it so enchanting that Jesus died for love of it.”
― Brennan Manning, Ruthless Trust: The Ragamuffin's Path to God

“Unexpectedly, this did not kill her; and what did not kill her made her curious.”
