Quote by N.D. Jones

“All I want to do is reunite my family. Free them from bond-age. But each time I do, another family is left in pieces. But my brothers would've been sold away if I hadn't come. Forever lost like our sisters. But I've never gone on a mission without the good Lord's consent. This is where I'm supposed to be. It hurts, yes, it does, but the Lord has shown me the way. And it led me back here to my brothers.”

It was born out of fear and white supremacy.”

“I cried out, and He answered. He helped me, just like He had every other time. I thought of the Milky Way and those magnificent and grandiose beams of light, tunneling downwards. Then I thought about how the God who’d created all of that kept answering my prayers and inserting Himself, a Being more glorious and powerful than those incalculably massive stars, into my life.”

“True beauty radiates from within, like a warm light that shines brightly in the heart. Makeup may enhance the exterior, but it's the kindness, compassion, and love that reside within that truly make a person beautiful. Just as a rose's beauty comes from its innate beauty, not from external decorations, inner beauty is what truly makes a person radiant and captivating.”
