“During the night we must wait for the light.”

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.

One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.

Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.

Half an hour’s meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.

A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.

He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.

There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.

Don’t get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God’s Love, which is greater than our weakness.

Many who confess their venial sins out of custom and concern for order but without thought of amendment remain burdened with them for their whole life and thus lose many spiritual benefits and advantages.

If, when stung by slander or ill-nature, we wax proud and swell with anger, it is a proof that our gentleness and humility are unreal, and mere artificial show.

But once your eyes met mine, addiction blossomed and I was undone – petals unfurling toward the light you held.

She is my star, my light, and warmth an orbit I could never fall off.

I may not be able to pull you into the light – but I will hold you through the dark.

Evil exists in the shadows of our world and I’m realizing that without the darkness there would be no light. We need both to stay alive.

I breathe out light pleasing, soft, and warm – I’m still learning to breathe out fire.

I see the pain you hide inside you, those shadows that haunt your eyes, let tears of liquid darkness flow until space is made for light.

I will be the light you can cling to when your darkness lingers.

If we let love in the light will follow the shadow will creep back to their corners the consuming dark will vanish morning will find us we will make it to the dawn together.
