...stooping very low, He engraves with care His Name, indelible, upon our dust; And from the ashes of our self-despair, Kindles a flame of hope and humble trust. He seeks no second site on which to build, But on the old foundation, stone by stone, Cementing sad experience with grace, Fashions a stronger temple of His own. Patricia St. John
About This Quote

Most people think it is impossible to get over a painful past. This is not the case. Jesus gave us the example of how we should treat each other after we have suffered a tragedy or heartbreak. When we learn to forgive and let go of hurt, we can begin to create and build a new future.

We don’t need to hide our scars and hide our pain. Instead, we can use that pain to strengthen and grow us into better men and women.
