A Bit Of Help For Those In Pain



"I see that you have at last found the secret of true peace: not to examine your present state, and to abandon the past and future entirely to God's mercy; to have a great idea of God's goodness, which is infinitely greater than you can express, and to believe, in spite of anything that tries to persuade you to the contrary, that YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD in spite of all your miseries."

St. Claude De La Colombiere

You know, my sweet Journal friends, I believe it's not how far we've come in this world that matters - it's how far we've come from where we were. And I feel that no matter where we are, it's the exact place God expects us to be. God by any other name would love us just as fiercely. And I love you, too.
