I say, โYou may be right, but donโt knock it until youโre tried it. Donโt say, โI think itโs worthless; therefore Iโm not going to spend any time looking into myself the way one who prays does.'โ Maybe thatโs an even worse mistake than praying might be.
Frederick BuechnerWhen someone we love suffers, we suffer with that person, and we would not have it otherwise, because the suffering and the love are one, just as it is with God's love for us.
