God loves us just because of who we are, not because of what we do, not because we’ve got it all together, and not because of our efforts—or lack of effort . There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more, and there’s nothing we can do to make him love us any less. – Kurt W. Bubna

My prayer of late is more like this: Father , I pray that I will wake before I die. Wake me from any lethargy. Wake me from any monotony. Wake me from a life of mediocrity. Wake me from the lie that there’s nothing I can significantly contribute to this life or to the lives of others. Wake me up to what really matters. – Kurt W. Bubna

Blessed be the sun on other lands Which makes all men my brothers Because every man, one moment in the day, looks at it like me And in this pure moment, All clean and tender, They go back tearfully With a sigh they barely feel To the true and primitive man Who saw the sun rise and didn’t worship it yet. Because that’s natural—more natural Than worshipping gold and God And art and morality… – Alberto Caeiro

Blessed be the sun on other lands
Which makes all men my brothers
Because every man, one moment in the day, looks at it like me
And in this pure moment,
All clean and tender,
They go back tearfully
With a sigh they barely feel
To the true and primitive man
Who saw the sun rise and didn’t worship it yet.
Because that’s natural—more natural
Than worshipping gold and God
And art and morality… – Alberto Caeiro

There is something comforting about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. – Anonymous

Comparison is a trap. It will kill our joy. It will rob us of our peace. It makes us act foolish and stupid. It causes dissension and division in the body of Christ. It creates terrible tension in our relationships with others. So here’s what you need to focus on: Let God use you the way he sees fit to do so. Embrace what he is doing in and through your life. – Kurt W. Bubna
