Stop, listen, be available to love

“How can I tell you I love, you, if you don’t have time to listen to me?” Rev. Matthew Lawrence in his christmas sermon.

God

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Galileo Galilei

God

Like a pair of mismatched newlyweds, one of whom feels very insecure,
I keep turning to God, saying: "Kiss me." - Hafiz

I learn..its God's loving way

Each time I feel like my life is going through the sewer, where I am being forced to adapt to situations that may have come out of the blue, or ones that humble me beyond my capacity, each time this has happened I get exasperated, throw my hands in the air and of course start praying hard. Most times I think "Why me"?

I only recently discovered this (once again for the 30th time in this life). Trials and tribulations come to me when I am furthest away from God, and these come to me to bring me closer to him, and to his love. This makes me smile, and trivializes everything that kept me awake. I am safe in his hands, its God's way that prevails.

I read this yesterday- "When we plan our future we spit on God's gifts and the heaven he has built for us. And in doing so, we create hell." - Patty Kirk, Confessions of an amateur believer.

Trust God

"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer." -Corrie Ten Boom
