I think you have every right to cherry-pick when it comes to moving your spirit and finding peace in God. You take whatever works from wherever you can find it, and you keep moving toward the light.

About This Quote

I think you have every right to cherry-pick when it comes to moving your spirit and finding peace in God. You take whatever works from wherever you can find it, and you keep moving toward the light. In other words, I think it’s okay to reinterpret the Bible as you see fit. We all do it constantly as we interpret the world around us to fit our own needs. And as long as you're open to reinterpreting what "the light" actually is, I think that's a good thing.
