Of course we're Christian. The very name of the church declares that. The more people see us and come to know us, the more I believe they will come to realize that we are trying to exemplify in our lives and in our living the great ideals which (Jesus Christ) taught. ↗

I believe God spoke to you at cliffs. Her hand came to rest on the top of my head. But perhaps you weren't truly listening ↗

Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation. ↗

How can we truly understand who we are unless we know who we were and what we have the power to become? ↗

Wahai Tuhanku Yang Maha Lembut, Aku tahu Engkau tak perlu kuingatkan, tapi untuk kedamaian hatiku, ijinkanlah aku mengingatkan-Mu, ...aku ini hanya berharap kepada-Mu. Aku mohon agar engkau menjauhkanku dari gurauan kehidupan, yang mempermainkanku antara harapan dan kekecewaan. Perlakukanlah aku dengan lembut dan penuh kasih, damaikanlah hatiku, bahagiakanlah keluargaku, dan sejahterakanlah hidupku. Aamiin ↗

He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist. ↗

The blessing hands of Christ are like a roof that protects us. But at the same time, they are a gesture of opening up, tearing the world open so that heaven my enter in, may become "present" within it. ↗

لا تكون رحلة النضوج هذه سهلة أبدا , بل إنها تشبه أحيانا احتراقا داخليا, ألم عظيم و مشقة ليست أثل من ألم و مشقة و معاناة الولادة,و ليست أقل قداسة في الوقت نفسه, فتغيير الذات مخاض عسير و صامت , الصراخ معه لا يجدي كما قد ينفع مع آلام المخاض الاعتيادي , بل هو يحتاج إلى صبر دؤوب و اصطبار حقيقي و متابعة لهذا الصير و ذلك الاصطبار ... و ينتج من ذلك كله معاناة حقيقية هي في جوهرها احتراق حقيقي , وصولا إلى النضوج ..إلى التغيير ↗

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it. ↗

— C.S. Lewis
