Spiritual Thoughts

  I f we want to avoid the suffering of someone leaving us, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen M any waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers over flow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, it would be utterly despised. ~ Song of Solomon 8:7

T he trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ~ Erica Jong   S earch me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ~ Psalm 139:23-24

O nly those who will risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. ~ T.S. Eliot  W hy are we in danger every hour? For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. WOE to me if I do not preach the gospel!  ~ 1 Corinthians 9:16 with 15:30
