Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"Stray Birds"
Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
It is difficult to discuss the beginning of the Universe without mentioning the concept of God… It is quite possible that God acts in ways that cannot be described by scientific laws. But in that case one would just have to go by personal belief.
Trust God completely and he will solve all difficulties. Faithfully leave everything to Him and He will see to everything.
By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!
He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.
-Pearl Bailey
