He mends wounds and binds up broken hearts. He heals hurts and comforts souls. He wipes away tears and gives rest to the weary. He restores and redeems, working all things for good, for those who love Him.

Be broken and given in the small, the moments so small no one may applaud at all. Pour out your life in laundry rooms and over toilets and tubs, and pour out life on the back streets, in the back of the room, back behind the big lights. Pour out your life in small moments - because it’s only these moments that add up to the monumental. The only way to live a truly remarkable life is not to get everyone to notice you, but to leave noticeable marks of His love everywhere you go. Love so large that it has to live in the holiness of very small moments of sacrifice. Love demands you lie down and die in small moments, the moments not scripted for screens, but written into the inner hem of a heart that can change how someone breathes.

Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way (via gaze-on-jesus)

Glamorize eating!!! Sunny picnics, lavish dinner parties, breakfast dates with pancakes and kisses, pizza eaten cold in your underwear at midnight, plates of pasta in the Italian countryside, cheese platters decorated with fresh figs, ice cream out of the pint with your best friend….glamorize it all! Make it beautiful and ~aesthetic~ to nourish your body and soul

Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you?

The soul that loves Jesus Christ does not envy the great ones of this world but only those who are greater lovers of Jesus Christ.

“There are two kinds of ‘atheism’: the atheism of the right, which professes to love God and ignores neighbor; and the atheism of the left, which professes to love neighbor and ignores God.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Those Mysterious Priests (via catherine-of-alexandria)

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is, It’s okay. It’s okay for me to be kind to myself. It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay to get mad. It’s okay to be flawed. It’s okay to be happy. It’s okay to move on.

Hayley Williams (via wnq-music)
