“There are many beautiful things in the world around us, but pearls can only be discovered in the depths of the sea; if we wish to posses spiritual pearls we must plunge into the depths, that is, we must pray, we must sink down into the secret depths of contemplation and prayer. Then we shall perceive precious pearls.” IfsWorldBeautifulSpiritualWishPrayerSecretSeaPrayingDepthPerceiveContemplationBeautiful ThingsPearlsPlungePosse Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
“People would never begin to pray if they could not ask for earthly things like riches and health and honours; He says to Himself: If they ask for such things the desire for something better will awaken in them, and finally they will only care about the higher things.” PeopleIfsCareDesireAsksPrayerPrayingHigherRichesHonourSomething BetterEarthly Things Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
“A newborn child has to cry, for only in this way will his lungs expand. A doctor once told me of a child who could not breathe when it was born. In order to make it breathe the doctor gave it a slight blow. The mother must have thought the doctor cruel. But he was really doing the kindest thing possible. As with newborn children the lungs are contracted, so are our spiritual lungs. But through suffering God strikes us in love. Then our lungs expand and we can breathe and pray.” WayChildrenPainSpiritualMotherSufferingOrderBornCryPrayingDoctorsBlowBreatheStrikesLungsNewbornNewborn Child Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
