Hearing my story seemed to give him a license he had been longing for someone to give him: the license to believe what he had seen with his own eyes--to KNOW that deep and comforting truth: that our eternal spiritual self is more real than anything we perceive in this physical realm, and has a divine connection to the infinite love of the Creator.

About This Quote

The quote, “Heard my story seemed to give him a license he had been longing for someone to give him: the license to believe what he had seen with his own eyes—to KNOW that deep and comforting truth: that our eternal spiritual self is more real than anything we perceive in this physical realm, and has a divine connection to the infinite love of the Creator,” is an uplifting story about how one person’s life was changed by another. The speaker, who was never heard from again after their encounter with this mysterious woman named “Auntie Ruth” (the quote comes from her name), tells the story of how he learned that he was not alone in his existence and that there was someone who loved him. When I hear this story, I am reminded of the power of true love and how it can transform lives.
