Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness.
Yasmin MogahedYou keep running after the love of the people, but youโll never get it. And what you do get, will never be enough. The hole inside you is too big. You see, it was made by God, for God. How could anything less fill it?
Yasmin MogahedIf you want this life to stop breaking your heart, stop giving your heart to this life.
Yasmin MogahedThey say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
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.
