Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people


Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw. 

I trust in God, and His ways are not our ways. So we have to go with that, and there's nothing I can do about that.

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love but sometimes it was so hard to love.

Faith is not the belief that everything will be all right tomorrow, but the belief that I possess the strength to make everything all right today.

You can believe in God without believing in immortality, but it is hard to see how anyone can believe in immortality and not believe in God.
