“How do you wipe away pain? You don’t. You put in tenderness, compassion and joy. You cling to hope and then you offer everything to God. And you wait, with faith you see all things anew – light shines out from darkness, happiness grows through every pain, and all things become indeed so very beautiful in His time.”

“The deepest wounds of the soul are healed only by compassion... People do not merely need to be clothed, they need to be embraced with love. A love that enters into their own fears and frailty, a love that suffers with them and stays with them through their darkest hour.”

“There at the cross, we see all pain and darkness conquered in such a way that it is defeated forever. Not by disregarding it. Not by denying it. But by giving value even to our tears. By loving everything about us, including our very worst hurts.”

“Even our deepest disappointments will ultimately prove to be gatekeepers for future delight.”

“We all need reminders that there is a huge difference between coaching from the spiritual sidelines and putting skin in the game. Between advertising for the cause and actually joining it. Between talking about it from afar and getting close enough for it to affect our comfort.”

“When it feels like He’s not hearing our prayers because we aren’t getting immediate answers, He’s still moving mountains on our behalf.”

“The world says, “Push to the front of the line!” Jesus says, “Go to the back of the line.” The world says, “Brand yourself and blast your accomplishments all over social media!” Jesus says, “If you want to be great you have to first learn to serve.”

“He is a restoring God! He’s in the business of restoration. Just as He restored the majesty of Jacob and Israel’s majesty, He is in the business of restoring us as well. So, today, let’s praise Him because we know that the Lord is in the restoration business and He restores us!”

“God is glorified when we bring the Good News of the Gospel to the poor, and when we bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captive, open the prison of those who are bound, and when we comfort those who mourn. In all of these acts of love and kindness, He is glorified.”

“This glimpse of hope comes at a desperate time, a time when the lame, those who have been driven away and those who the Lord has afflicted, are gathered together by the Lord. It seems quite hopeless, but God… God says, “they do not know the thoughts of the Lord, they do not understand His plan.” If you’re in a desperate place today, friend, trust Him, and trust His plan!”

“The wicked always believe that brute strength is moral. Tyrants and bullies exist because they think that by violence and bloodshed, they can establish themselves. Even our Lord Jesus suffered plentiful violence when King Herod sought to destroy Him while still a baby. The chief priests and Pilate savagely crucified Him. Yet their violence could not overcome Him. God is not someone who will be bulldozed away. The rise and fall of proud kings and great empires throughout history attests to this reality.”

“My prayer is that laughter rises from tear-filled bottles and that pure joy overtakes you to the point you are jumping and leaping—shouting even. ~Tekoa Manning”

“Cultivating an attitude of gratitude begins with counting your blessings. In simpler terms, gratitude is expressing thanks for gifts we receive. Genuine gratitude helps us to see the little things in life that are often overlooked, yet so precious.”

“Today, I challenge you to pay it forward. You don't need to save a village—only one lost soul. Be the reflection of Christ and shine His light. The cost is little, but the reward is rich.”

“Sometimes, all we need is just one person who believes in us and who will never give up on us. Someone who sees beyond our weaknesses, beyond our faults. Who knows that though we walk in darkness, we can still find our way into the light.”

“It isn’t violence that can break through our hearts. It isn’t force that binds us and keeps us together. Only tenderness has the power to accomplish what the fullness of love desires to do. Tenderness that approaches us little by little, and handles our feelings with the deepest affection and delight. Tenderness that is willing to wait for the right time until we are ready and we are no longer afraid.”

“Love is a choice. Either we choose to behave lovingly toward others....or not; either we conduct ourselves in ways that enhance our relationship....or not. But we should be aware that genuine love requires effort. Simply put, if we wish to build lasting relationship, we must be willing to do our part. Building lasting relationship requires compassion, wisdom, empathy, kindness, courtesy, and forgiveness ( lots of forgiveness). If that sounds like work, it is – which is perfectly okay, since the rewards of love always outweigh the costs. Zora Neale Hurston observed, "Love makes your soul crawl out of its hiding place." Your capable of choosing that kind of love—and the world becomes a better place when you do.v January 27th”

“The morning bids me to linger a moment before the sun proclaims the day as having arrived. And it is this silent space hewn from a day not yet on its feet that tenderly and at times abruptly positions me to better face the arriving day. And I am utterly amazed that there has never been a single day in the whole of my life where the day showed up without this gift. Rather, it’s that I have too often shown up too hurried to accept the gift.”
