I just want to die... to be with him.
Preacher
He's in God's hands now.
He was in God's hands the whole time. Wasn't he?
The Tree of Life quotes
Brother. Mother. It was they who led me to your door.
How did you come to me, in what shape, what disguise?
If you're looking for something to happen, that was it. That was life. You lived it.
My hope.
My God.
What did you gain?
Okay, go on now. We're all right. We're all right.
The nuns taught us there are 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. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries.
Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. 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... when love is smiling through all things.
They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace... ever comes to a bad end.
I will be true to you. Whatever comes.
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation ... while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
