“I have made a solemn vow never to send my drawings because people have cheated me. In particular, just today I found... that, having done a drawing of souls in Purgatory for the Bishop of St. Gata, he, in order to spend less, commissioned another painter to do the painting using my work. If I were a man, I can't imagine it would have turned out this way.” PeopleIfsMenWayMadeI CanSoulDoneTodayOrderFoundImagineParticularPaintingDrawingPainterVowSolemnBishopsCheatedPurgatory Author:Artemisia Gentileschi
“Alas! how many souls there are full of self, and yet desirous of doing good and serving God, but in such a way as to suit themselves; who desire to impose rules upon God as to His manner of drawing them to Himself. They want to serve and possess Him, but they are not willing to be possessed by Him.” WayWantSoulSelfDesireWillingDrawingSuitsSelfishnessServingPossessedServing GodAlasDoing Good Author:Francois Fenelon

“God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home. And to pass through the valley of the shadow of death is the way home, but only thus, that as all changes have hitherto led us nearer to this home, the knowledge of God, so this greatest of all outward changes - for it is but an outward change - will surely usher us into a region where there will be fresh possibilities of drawing nigh in heart, soul, and mind to the Father of us all.” ThinkingKnowsMenWayMindHeartSoulGodHomeFatherPossibilityJudgingJudgmentShadowDrawingRegionsValleysHis LoveKnowledge Of GodWay HomeShadow Of Death Author:George MacDonald
