"Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with You my heart to share?
Lord, tear it out and reign alone
The Lord of every passion there
Then shall my heart from earth be free
When it had found its all in Thee."
"A noisy life not only competes with the Divine message, it distorts what it cannot drown out altogether."
"God's presence is an ongoing personal conversation, not an intermittent and infrequent reception of a general broadcast. It is as if whenever we stop and listen, we discover that God is already speaking with us."
