My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. ↗

I know I dont tell you enough that youre important to me. Im afraid of you, and your ability to love me unconditionally and without question. I really want for this to work out, keep up with everything youre doing because it inspires me as a person to do more for myself, hence to bring a better unity to you and i. It makes me happy when you are happy, and no matter how incomplete i feel without you in my life just know you are in my heart and on my mind.. ↗

Promises were like laws; smart men knew when to break both. ↗

Prayer never evaporates. It sets into motion forces as inexorable and perhaps as "unhurriable" as a glacier, but when the Lord's arm reaches down, no power in heaven or earth will frustrate him. ↗
