When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who've hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. Itโs for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
Yasmin MogahedDon't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
Yasmin MogahedWhen the pain overtakes you, reach inside. Gather the broken pieces, and hand them to God. Ask Him to remake your heart. Different, this time. Stronger. More beautiful. This is how we are made, and remade by the Maker.
Yasmin MogahedYou have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.
Yasmin MogahedWhen you have friends, donโt expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, donโt expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When youโre an activist, donโt put your hope in the results. When youโre in trouble donโt depend on yourself. Donโt depend on people. Depend on God.
