In solitude we become aware that our worth is not the same as our usefulness.

The great #‎ conversion called for by Jesus is to move from belonging to the world to belonging to God.

I feel the problems I have are meant to purify me.

Waiting is a dry desert between where we are and where we want to be. (Finding My Way Home)

Every time I take a step in the direction of generosity, I know I am moving from fear to love.

When we are securely rooted in personal intimacy with the source of life, it will be possible to remain flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle and forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.

Hope is willing to leave unanswered questions unanswered and unknown futures unknown. Hope makes you see God's guiding hand not only in the gentle and pleasant moments but also in the shadows of disappointment and darkness.
