More quotes by Shannon L. Alder

"Faith requires following the power of a whisper."
"Hide yourself in God, so when a man wants to find you he will have to go there first."
"Accomplishments don’t erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past."
"Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain—-thinking of moments you long for, and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us, and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love."
"Spiritual pain is when you can’t stand another moment not knowing the real truth, and when you finally do know you can’t let go."
