“Don't shelter yourself from the storms of life, son. Absorb it, relish it. It's okay to get soaked in it; the sun always returns.”

“We Cannot know what is around the bend. It could be sorrow or joy, riches or poverty, health or infirmity. But we can trust that contentment can be ours regardless of circumstance. The Father's heavenly storehouses are full of His comfort, and He promises to rain it down upon the earthbound souls who ask for it. You have felt such sweet drops of relief before, a honeyed embrace of the divine to soothe your weary body of dust. When trouble comes, ask for this meeting of heaven up on the earth. The One who commands both realms, who carves the paths of the rivers and gives light to the stars, will lead us in the way we should go and shine a lamp unto our feet. It is a promise to us who trustingly call "Abba!" "In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26)”

“Fight like a man who's freedom has been stolen, who's belly is barren, who's lips thirst for justice, who's spirit has been wrongly enslaved, who's loved ones have been ripped from their arms.”
