Peace is not absence of struggles
Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God. Shalom.
What God hates
Sometimes God allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves. – Joni Eareckson Tada
Violence for violence is NOT the answer
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Pray hard
Pray hardest when it’s hard to pray.
Life without sorrow
Life without sorrow is like a farmer without rain, without both, nothing would grow. –Katarina Bivald
