When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith. – Kuyper
For me, the balance between doing and just being is the most important and dangerous question. If I am guilted or lured into achieving too much and lose the stillness at my centre, then it takes me a long time to regain it, and I do violence to myself and those I love because of fatigue and pressure. I have had to give up ‘winning big’ because I love my life when I am connected to it and I hate it when I get caught up in competition and deadlines.
“There is the Music of Heaven in all things and we have forgotten how to hear it until we sing”
-Hildegard Von Bingen
When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of “no answer.” It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent gaze. As though he shook his head, like, “Peace, child, you don’t understand.”
- CS Lewis
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
