True friendships are lasting because true love is eternal. A friendship in which heart speaks to heart is a gift from God, and no gift that comes from God is temporary or occasional. @henrinouwen

Suffering is a period in your life in which true faith can emerge, a naked faith, a faith that comes to life in the midst of great pain. @henrinouwen

[Katie McCarthy @Katiefaith8]

Faith does not and cannot explain why the innocent are allowed to suffer. It simply gives us hope that there is a place and time when that suffering will end, when connections will be retored, when life will be eternal-"On earth as it is in heaven" Matthew 6:10 @SavannahGuthrie
