God is merciful to children, but the children must be worthy as well.

Without suffering, there'd be no compassion.

Wishing someone luck before a play is supposed to be bad luck.

Sometimes, when you remember the things you used to do, it makes you wince...

Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.

You know its love when all you want to do is spend time with the other person, and you sort of know that the other person feels the same way.

I don’t think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

I cry to you, my lord, my rock!

Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holes.

I know the Lord has a plan for us all, but sometimes, I just don't understand what the message can be.

You feel fine, and then, when your body can't keep fighting, you don't

Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

If you put your trust in God, you’ll be all right in the end.

If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes

Miracles can happen
