Famous Michael J Heil Quotes

“My spiritual pursuits gained me nothing. It was as if the Higher Power I was seeking was nothing more than the sum of my favorite thoughts and ideas. It could not answer my prayers, change my circumstances, or do anything objective at all in my life. It was basically a figment of my imagination. I was a part of it, and it was a part of me, but it was not beyond me, above me, or separate from me. At its very best, it could maybe help me to massage my own psyche, but I needed objective, concrete, and tangible help, love, and guidance. I didn’t need an ethereal spirituality, I needed something pragmatic and real. I was tired of building my life on a flimsy foundation.”

“We weren’t just looking at how we could help others; we were looking into our own lives as well. Whenever we were together, we would talk about what was preventing us from from honoring God, what things were keeping us stuck, or holding us captive. They would share portions of God’s Word that gave me clarity on why I had become stuck in certain areas, as well as how God could help me heal and move forward.”

“Samuel responded compassionately, “I’m here because I care about you. I want you to have a bright life and future. I spend time with you because I see that you’re hurting inside, and you lack guidance. When I was your age, someone sought me out and helped me tackle the lies in my life and fight my way through them and find hope again. I believe that there’s hope for you and I want to help you get unstuck the same way they helped me.”
