Distilling insights from spiritual writers and thinkers to guide us on our faith journey

[The Inward Turn @TheInwardTurn]

What if we took a moment to realize that all the #joy, #love, #peace and fulfillment we long for as human beings already exist, dwelling within and awaiting our discovery? #turninward

While “social distancing” has become an inconvenient reality during the #COVID19 pandemic, the opportunity it affords to practice #solitude is perhaps one of the greatest blessings ushered in by what can otherwise be described as a global crisis: https://t.co/3cSlYLafHV

[Jack Flacco @JackFlacco]

All glory belongs to God for He is good. No disease shall overcome us; no pestilence shall overtake us, for the Lord is our shield and our strength. He will protect us in all things. Let us take refuge in Him.

[Proverbs 31 @Proverbs31org]

Our identity is not found in our mistakes or shortcomings. We aren’t defined by what’s been said about us or to us.

We are who God says we are!

@tinybuddha truth!

[Desiring God @desiringGod]

Without love, our words are just noise.
Without love, our knowledge is useless.
Without love, our good works are meaningless.
Without love, we are nothing.

So true. Fulfillment is not "out there." #turninward

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

We of faith have a longing for someone we’ve never seen and to be somewhere we’ve never been and to do something we’ve never done. It cannot be satiated here. We could start over 10 times with all new people in all new places & we’d confront the same exact feeling. It’s not here.

[Scott Sauls @scottsauls]

For many people, the pursuit of happiness is built on something that is not true, on a promise made by some Jesus-substitute/counterfeit god – whether it be wealth, romance, career, healthy, friendship or fame. Jesus is better. #IrresistibleFaithBook
