#Healing

"The healing is my working out my salvation. The need constant because my desire for seperateness constantly wrestles with my need for oneness with Jesus. The search for Jesus is bigger, deeper and agonizing."

"You can run away from yourself so often, and so much, just because the broken pieces of you cut your feet too deeply if you stay around for too long. But then what if someone were to come along and pick up those pieces for you? Then you wouldn't have to run away from yourself anymore. You could stop running. If someone sees you as something worth staying with— maybe you'll stay with yourself, too."

"I fantasize the night sky to be like a cosmic blue print of my life as I close my eyes and unbutton my heart…. just in case anyone up there is listening."

"Perhaps wisdom is simply a matter of waiting, and healing a question of time. And anything good you've ever been given is yours forever."

"What happens when people open their hearts?""They get better."

"I make jokes because humor is the greatest healing factor that there is."

"I look out into the water and up deep into the stars. I beg the sparkling lanterns of light to cure me of myself — my past and the kaleidoscope of mistakes, failures and wrong turns that have stacked unbearable regret upon my shoulders."

"Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues"say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over."

"Hearts are breakable,"Isabelle said. "And I think even when you heal, you're never what you were before"."

"Breathe Through the Pain, It Always Gets Easier with Time."

"Where humanitysowed faith, hope, and unity, joy’s garden blossomed."

"Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears."

"Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs."

"Hearts rebuilt from hope resurrect dreams killed by hate."

"For many, the search for Jesus is initiated from experiencing an event in life so powerful, it awakens the dragons of faith; from pain so deep, it calls on the hidden fears of the soul in an effort to survive. For others it means a serious personal life survey that ultimately forces the confrontation with the futility, anesthetics, and despair in their lives."

"Your personal truth is your gift to the world."

"Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing."

"I really believe that there is an invisible red thread tied between him and me, and that it has stretched and tangled for years — across oceans and lifetimes. I know that it won’t break because our souls are tied."

"In time, in time they tell me, I'll not feel so bad. I don't want time to heal me. There's a reason I'm like this.I want time to set me ugly and knotted with loss of you, marking me. I won't smooth you away.I can't say goodbye."

"For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world: the one you practice because everything really is all right, and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven, or because you need just as badly to forgive them, for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them."
