i know where my faith lies yet my fallenness is persistent.

you may have doubts about your faith but He is certain of it.

condemning is at its best counterproductive and at its worst evil.

the condemnation of another is in most cases a self-serving act disguised as a benevolent one.

the activities of one's mind are not necessarily a reflection of the stirrings of one's heart.

the mind is not the abode of free will, the soul is.

the justice of humankind is not the justice of God. be mindful of this whenever you plead for justice from Him.

justice is flawed without visibility into the soul.


uncertainty can lead you to certainty if you befriend it.


one cannot arrive at love through reason; love is its own reason.

it is not so much what the intellect can reason as what the soul can convey to the mind.

language is woefully inadequate in conveying the sacredness of life to an intellect that reasons otherwise.

one's intellect can be the bane of one's existence. one's intellect can be the bane of another's existence.

reason might bring you comfort but it is love that brings you peace.
