But ask the animals,
and they will teach you.
or speak to the earth,
and it will teach you.
or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Sin is not ended in multiplying words,
But the prudent hold their tongues.

Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then, I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.

1 Corinthians 14: 10-11

Your soul will lead you on. Your inner voice, your heart, is leading you on. Quiet your mind and and trust that where you are and where you’re being led is perfect.

p. 255, journey to the heart, Melody Beattie

Souls do talk. Listen quietly. Listen to your own. Learn to hear the voice of others. A little soul talk goes a long way.

pp. 254-255, Journey to the Heart, Melody Beattie

You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life. You should mind your own business and work with your hands… so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on any one.

We need to be diligent about setting an example of patiently running the race. Eternity is not a game.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.

Destiny means embracing each moment, being present for it, cherishing it because it is our now.

Destiny isn’t someplace we go. Destiny is where we are.
