Believing is not about seeing things…
Believing is about us, you and I, kneeling in front of the risen wounded Christ. It is about being brave enough to know that the next words we will say, and the words by which we will lead our lives, are these and these alone. ‘My Lord and my God!’
Who are we, what is our insight into other men’s hearts, that we should foreclose the time of their growth; that we should call for speed, when God, it may be, is patiently disengaging their minds from difficulties that we have never known;
Even the most perfect people have many imperfections, and we ourselves have no fewer.
…It is our daily duty to consider that in all circumstances of life… the conduct of every human being affects, more or less, the happiness of others,
here are others who lay the foundations of family life so narrow, straight, and strict, that there is room in them only for themselves and people exactly like themselves; and hence comes much misery.
There is always danger of misrepresentation in the attempt to present a view that is not one’s own.
Love of the last word has made more bitterness in families, and spoiled more Christians than it is worth.
