"Here the whole world (stars, water, air,And field, and forest, as they wereReflected in a single mind)Like cast off clothes was left behindIn ashes, yet with hopes that she,Re-born from holy poverty,In lenten lands, hereafter mayResume them on her Easter Day."(Epitaph for Joy Davidman)"
"The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not."
"God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing."
"The rule of the universe is that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and one can paddle every canoe except one's own."
"The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not."
"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be."
