"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I have come to know a God whose Son made prodigals the heroes of his stories and the trophies of his ministry."

- Philip Yancey (via hisstorythroughmine)

"I don’t think there’s anything sadder than when two people are meant to be together and something intervenes."
