Hope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.

Kindness is not something that we put on for certain occasions, like a piece of jewelry; rather, it is an attribute of God's that He desires to reproduce in us.

Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.
