Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.
Henri NouwenThe more you are called to speak for God's love, the more you will need to deepen the knowledge of that love in your own heart. The farther the outward journey takes you, the deeper the inward journey must be. Only when your roots are deep can your fruits be abundant.
Henri NouwenOur glory is hidden in our pain, if we allow God to bring the gift of himself in our experience of it.
Henri NouwenWhen I trust deeply that today God is truly with me and holds me safe in a divine embrace, guiding every one of my steps I can let go of my anxious need to know how tomorrow will look, or what will happen next month or next year. I can be fully where I am and pay attention to the many signs of God's love within me and around me.
