“It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that is being naked.”
— Rob Bell
No hay nada especial en un cuerpo bonito si el alma está vacía. En un mundo donde sobra la belleza superficial, el deseo y la lujuria, lo verdaderamente raro es la autenticidad.
Jhomaes
“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won’t do harm - yes, choose a place where you won’t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”
— E.M. Forster

Somos lo que hacemos...
“Desde la infancia mi corazón y mi espíritu se inclinaban a la bondad y a los tiernos sentimientos aún cuando estaba siempre dispuesto a acometer grandes actos (…) Es el arte, y sólo él, el que me ha salvado. ¡Ah!, me parecía imposible dejar el mundo antes de haber dado todo lo que sentía germinar en mí, y así he prolongado esta vida miserable, verdaderamente miserable, con un cuerpo tan sensible al que todo cambio un poco brusco puede hacer pasar del mejor al peor estado de salud. Paciencia, es todo lo que me debe guiar ahora, y así lo hago.”
— Ludwig van Beethoven, «Testamento de Heiligenstadt»

“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”
— Joshua Graham
Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. Sometimes I think it is my doubts that make my faith strong, because it leads me to seek God, to wrestle with Him, and to trust Him even when I don’t have all the answers.
The world may have hardened your heart, destroyed your trust, worried your mind, but we have a God who means it when tells us that he loves us, means it when he tells us that he will sort it all out, and means it when he tells us that we do not have to worry. 💛
