Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

“Seeking Thee Lord, I seek thee for renewing Of my faith and of my love Rush and care are my undoing Touch me, Savior, from above Pass me not, oh holy Savior Leave me not to grope and fail Through thy blood I seek thy favor With thy grace I can prevail Faith moves in to claim the promise Peace revives and flood my soul Make me now thy chosen chalice Giving drink that makes men whole Seeking thee, seeking thee Touch and give me liberty”

Chiron is terribly aware of it, brushing over the large scar on his arm but for the most of it, people have a chance of rewriting their own stories.”

“„Say, Pythias… Are you trying to flirt with me?“ „Have been for years.“, they sip from their coffee, „You’re catching on only now?“ There is this blush Pythias enjoys seeing on Damon’s face. He already reminds him of a painting which came to life but especially this rush of blood to his face turns him almost human instead of ethereal. There are still streaks of the paint from their art session clinging like nettles on his beautiful face. „I mean, how could I not? I owe you my life, but instead I’ve sworn my friendship to you. My lifelong loyalty and my heart. It is all I can offer you and I would hand it over to you even without anything in return. Although it would be nice to get at least a fragment of my affection back.”

“So what do I do with the resistance that shows up? What would change if I started to show up for myself even more? How do I claim my Blackness in a culturally competent way with so many missing pieces of information? Do I belong, and if so, where do I belong?

“I'm Resting in the Lord I must be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease Let others fight to win the prize And passel on their knees I cannot fight, but I must rein In heaven's blessed abode I'm glad that some enjoy the pain I'm resting in the Lord There are no foes to face My pastor is so good He says, "Just draw on saving grace. "And love the brotherhood." I am a soldier for Christ Unfaithful though I am I pay my tithes for His own cause But blush to speak His name I'm sure on that day of rewards He'll give me some small prize And so my gracious, loving Lord Will wipe tears from my eyes”
