God Quote by Henri Nouwen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … the pain of the leaving can tear us apart.”

“Maybe worship was the mistake.”

“Funny... I still can't believe in God.”

“God, thank you for the gift of life.”

“Choose to view life through God's eyes. This will not be easy because it doesn't come naturally to us. We cannot do this on our own. We have to allow God to elevate our vantage point. Start by reading His Word, the Bible...Pray and ask God to transform your thinking. Let Him do what you cannot. Ask Him to give you an eternal, divine perspective.”

“Total Enlightenment is 'Vision without Purpose'.”

“You are all alike, you people. You never learn the truth--that God knows nothing.”
