“Men love to trust God (as they profess) for what they have in their hands, in possession, or what lies in an easy view; place their desires afar off, carry their accomplishment behind the clouds out of their sight, interpose difficulties and perplexities -- their hearts are instantly sick.

Learn to wait quietly for the salvation you expect from Him.” MenHeartHandsLyingDesireEasyWaitingViewsBehindsSickSightDifficultySalvationCloudsPossessionAccomplishmentTrust In GodPresence Of GodAfarPerplexity Author:Owen Wilson

I paint because I can't help it.” GivingChildrenHas BeensArtI CanHelpingInspirationFacesDesireSongGamesAnswersStreetsPaintingSightPaintTerrorNewspapersNightmareRhymeItemsBecause I CanNurseryCaricaturesNursery Rhymes Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
