Waiting

"Our Willingness to wait reveals the value we place on the object we're waiting for."
Charles Stanley

Peace

"There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared, it is itselft the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross."

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

C. S. Lewis

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

Loving God

"How do you love God?
Start by loving your neighbor.
How do you love your neighbor?
Start by loving God."

The most loving thing you can do for a loved one is to love God and seek Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
