I tell you the truth, if you had faith
even as small as a mustard seed,
you could say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’
and it would move.
Matthew 17:20
What is eternity ? Here is a surprising answer :
And this is the way to have eternal life :
to know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
John 17:3
Sometimes it seems, there is no comfort,
the nights are long and hold no promise of tomorrow.
But somewhere deep inside,
there burns a tiny flame,
it can bring release to all our sorrows.
So come together, each one bring your light...
Jewish prayer
The world is full of grief right now,
for the losses of the day.
Wise elders, ... teach us
that when we let go into grief
--a task that the ego guards against--
we find a deep doorway into the sacred.
(Tirza Firestone)
Let go for a moment all your memories and your history. What is left is beingness, timeless identity,
what Jesus calls the Kingdom of Heaven.
(Eckart Tolle)
Suffering is not there as a punishment,
it’s there to teach you where you are still clinging,
it’s there to teach you where to shine your love and compassion,
it’s there as a doorway to freedom. (Jack Kornfield)
