Beneath our frantic activities, there's a deep desire to show the world we are worthwhile.
Henri NouwenIf you feel loved, you can do a thousand things. If you feel rejected, everything becomes a problem.
Henri NouwenWhile optimism makes us live as if someday soon things will soon go better for us, hope frees us from the need to predict the future and allows us to live in the present, with the deep trust that God will never leave us alone but will fulfill the deepest desires of our heart... Joy in this perspective is the fruit of hope.
