Make peace with your shadow. Unless you are able to,you will never dare venture in the light.
Let not another’s measure of happiness be your own measure.Judge not the things that can make you happy.
God does not take us only when we are lovable,but moreso when we are most in need of love.
God does not love the crowd,
but the person
within the crowd.
He may attract a multitude,
but what truly matters to Him
is if you could let Him in your heart.
“Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.”
Isaiah 40:26
Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it –with peace.
-Jesus to Sister Faustina
There’s a whole world of a difference between knowing that you love yourself and in knowing that you are loved. In the end, it is Jesus who spells the difference.
Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, —if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing. -Helen Keller
