When a person encounters the Lord, he can't remain the same. He is changed.
We may never be able to answer the question: "Why does God allow bad things to happen to us?" But we begin to realize that we can learn and grow through them. A seed sprouts always in the darkness of the earth, and much spiritual growth begins in the darkness of pain, loss, sickness, and disappointment. In this life, suffering will never be eliminated but God works in all things for our good.
Prayer can be like a slow interior bleeding, in which gried and sorrow make the heart's blood of the inner man trickle away silently into his own unfathomed depths. - Karl Rahner
Faith allows impossible things to happen. It comes from a fearless heart. And when a fearless heart believes, miracles do happen.
When we look back and wonder how we ever made it through, we realize it's not because we were wise, but because God has been good, not because we've been strong, but because God has been mighty, not because we've been consistent, but because God has been faithful.
Being alive means being loved. We can only love because we were born out of love, we can only give because our life is a gift, and that we can only make others free because we are set free by Him who's heart is greater than ours. - HJMN
Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction. Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
