“Jews are obligated to fulfill the particularities of Mosaic law. They don't light Sabbath candles simply because candles make them feel close to God, but because God commanded the lighting of candles: Closeness might be a nice by-product, but it is not the point. Christians will understand candle-lighting a little differently. Spiritual practices don't justify us. They don't save us. Rather, they refine our Christianity; they make the inheritance Christ gives us on the Cross more fully our own... Practicing the spiritual disciplines does not make us Christians. Instead, the practicing teaches us what it means to live as Christians.”

“ব্যয় করো এবং দান করো। ‘অনেক সম্পদ হলে দান করব এমনটা ভেবো না । তাহলে দেখবে, সম্পদও হবে না, দান করাও হবে না । অনেক সম্পদ না থাকা সত্ত্বেও যদি দান করো, তাহলে তোমাদের কোনো ক্ষতি হবে না। —আসমা বিনতে আবি বকর (রা.যি.)”

“I don’t need savings. I have the fire that refuses to die, the breath that steadies me through storms, the hands that build again and again. My wealth breathes. It rises with me each morning. It speaks through the courage in my chest, the dignity that stands unbent, the spirit that multiplies when it is given. Let the world measure its worth in dollars. I measure mine in the ways I endure, in the ways I speak when silence is demanded, in the ways I rise when I am cast down. I don’t need savings. I am the treasure ©️Annam M. Gordon”
