Quotes
"Truth and life are the supporting characteristics of Jesus being the Way."
"We could live in faith or fear, not dismissing fear, but knowing that we believe in a God who is confident and strong and knows the plans He has for us."
"The imperfect is not a barrier to God, but it's evidence of Him."
"The prayer you can begin to pray every day is 'Lord, teach me to be present with You.'"
“Follow thou me. I am the way and the truth and the life. Without the way there is no going;
without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living. I am the way which
thou must follow; the truth which thou must believe; the life for which thou must hope. I
am the inviolable way; the infallible truth, the never-ending life. I am the straightest way; the
sovereign truth; life true, life blessed, life uncreated.” -Thomas Kempis
