I love you,” was his reply. “I make myself keep on loving you, despite what you do. I've got to love you. We all have to love you, and believe in you, and think you are looking out for our best interests. But look at us, Momma, and really see us.
* نجلاء .. نجلااااء ... نجلااااااااء ... . - الساعة الآن التاسعة صباحاً إنهضي وإنفضي عن وسادتكِ رذاذ الأحلام ، كان هذا صوتها أمي لتفيقني من ذاك الحلم الذي كنت أهذي به كل ليلة ! تمنيت حينها لو أصيبت ذاكرتي بغيبوبة عن واقع لا يحتويه ، عن واقع لا يعانق وجوده ! أفقت وكعادتي أمضي إلى طريق مجهول ومسافات غريبة أحمل حقائب أحلامي وأجمع بها لوحاتي وأمل أتسكع به على دهاليز مدينتي الباريسية !
We don't look at the stars in the universe and say how tragic they are, how bruised they are, even though that is what they are. We look at them and speak of the beauty they contain. The inspiration they give us. Even though stars are the scars of the universe we don't see them as these broken pieces of gaseous matter, we see them as these majestic astrological blessings that give hope to billions. What if you saw yourself in that same light, or better yet what if you saw others in a similar way.
Faith doesn't get you around problems in life and relationships, it gets you through it.
بربك لا تبكِ بكاء المظلوم ! إن زرت أوطاني يوماً ولمحت نوافذ إنتظاري مغلقة وأبواب فقدي لك مؤصدة ، بربك لا تبكِ بكاء المظلوم ! إن إحتفلوا بيوم ميلادك وبحثت عن صوتي بينهم .. ولم تجده ؟ وبحثت عن هداياي من بين هداياهم ولم تصلك
Indeed, a quick glance around this broken world makes it painfully obvious that we don't need more arguments on behalf of God; we need more people who live as if they are in covenant with Unconditional Love, which is our best definition of God. (p. 21)
To be honest with you, I don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again. lines from Love Vs Destiny...
Bombs have kill-radiuses; churches should have love-radiuses--anyone within twenty miles of a church should know it.
There are 6 reasons that a person does anything: Love, faith, greed, boredom, fear... revenge.
Spiritual pain is when you can’t stand another moment not knowing the real truth, and when you finally do know you can’t let go.
You will never get everything in life but you will get enough.
I see it in your eyes as I see it in hers. Remember, there is always light where there is love and if that is what is meant to happen between the two of you, then it was destined.
Faithful people suffer and evil people prosper all the time [...]. Besides, if our actions are driven only by reward or punishment--eternal or otherwise--then they are motivated by greed and selfishness, not faith or love. That is where so many people go wrong, even those who say they believe [...]. They obey because the think it will make their *lives* better, rather than *themselves*. And that is very much the wrong reason.
We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world.
But all the while, there was one thing we most needed even from the start, and certainly will need from here on out into the New Jerusalem: the ability to take our freedom seriously and act on it, to live not in fear of mistakes but in the knowledge that no mistake can hold a candle to the love that draws us home. My repentance, accordingly, is not so much for my failings but for the two-bit attitude toward them by which I made them more sovereign than grace. Grace - the imperative to hear the music, not just listen for errors - makes all infirmities occasions of glory.
That was the last cruel irony of Tobias’s life: that he doomed the woman he would have died to save.
Love and faith are not common companions. More commonly power and fear consort with faith....Power is not to be crossed; one must respect and obey. Power means strength, whereas love is a human frailty the people mistrust. It is a sad fact of life that power and fear are the fountainheads of faith.
Each of them had done their best. Matt was still his friend. For Meredith, maybe the day would come when she could look at him and not think “inhuman” — or at least not think it immediately and constantly. Maybe Bonnie, the moth, would be able to stay away from the unholy flame. Now, there was something to worry about. He could all too easily see Bonnie taking a walk on the very wild side with Damon. His brother had a soft spot for her already, she knew. But if either of them had a problem, he already knew what he had to do to find a plan for a solution. Just look up.
I don't trust people. The good part is, i don't really have to. I've surrendered my faith to the Higher power, and it's unconditional love for me. Who am i to question it's motives? Even if there are things i can't understand. This is why there's no need to trust people - if they are on my path, it means they are good for me.
Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.
