“I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”

shepraises:

I become anxious when I don’t go to the One who calms my heart. I become anxious when I ignore my Creator. Time and time again, I have seen how walking further away allows the Enemy to take hold of my very being, bringing me down into the depths of sin and despair.

Holy Spirit, draw me closer to You. Help me choose You over my fear, stress, and temptations of this world. You are my lifeline.

(via shepraises)

mesogeios:

“To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy not respectable, and wealthy not rich. To listen to stars and birds and babes and sages with an open heart. To study hard, think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions. Never hurry. In a word, to let the spiritual, the unbidden and the unconscious rise up through the common. This is my symphony.”

— William Henry Channing, My Symphony

wordsnquotes:

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
