Whatever else may be said of man, this one thing is clear: He is not what he is capable of being.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.

I have had prayers answered — most strangely so sometimes — but I think our heavenly Father's loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has refused me.

Love is larger than the walls which shut it in.

Don’t bother to give God instructions, just report for duty.

Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings…it’s something we make inside ourselves.

There's nothing like a good crisis to increase my energy and remind me how much I need God.

You don't need to see the way if you follow the one that is the Way.
