A man's heart has heard two ways through life. The way of nature. And the way of grace.
You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. It accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. It accepts insults and injuries.
Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. It likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy. When all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.
They taught us, that no one who loves the way of grace, ever comes to a bad end.
που κρύβεται η αγάπη
AntwortenLöschenΠράσινο, κόκκινο,
Στρογγυλό ή τετράγωνο;
Ευθεία ή καμπύλη;
Ένωσε χρώματα και σχήματα,
Βάλε μελωδία και άρωμα.
Μάθε το όχι,
Για να καταλάβεις το ναι.
Φτιάξε το εγώ και το εσύ,
Για να ζείσεις το εμείς.
