“As I stood alone and forsaken, and the power of the sea and the battle of the elements reminded me of my own nothingness, and on the other hand, the sure flight of the birds recalled the words spoken by Christ: Not a sparrow shall fall on the ground without your Father: then, all at once, I felt how great and how small I was; then did those two mighty forces, pride and humility, happily unite in friendship.”

Two Hands Fall Father Force Felt Christ My Own Sea Humility Pride Battle Elements Bird Flight Nothingness Sparrows Forsaken Pride And Humility

Ifs World May Littles Moments Voice Christ Battle Devil Mere Soldier Rage Loyalty Flight That Moment Steady Portions Attacking Disgrace Battlefields Confessing Truth Of God

“In her mind's eye she saw it, saw it all at last: the rolling armies and the flames of battle; the graves and pits and dying cries of a hundred million souls; the spreading darkness, like a black wing stretching over the earth; the last, bitter hours of cruelty and sorrow, and the terrible, final flights; death's great dominion over all, and, at the last, empty cities, becalmed by the silence of a hundred years. Already these things were coming to pass.”
