“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, butmerely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate onthis sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace ofGod will not protect you.”
“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”
“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.”
“And in that history you're trying to connect to something that once was yours - to something purer, better, something that you lost or something, maybe, that you never knew but that you feel you knew.”
“When God allows something to be taken from you, He replaces it with something better.”
“I did know what it meant when you say you promise something. You have to say that you will never do something again and then you must never do it because that would make the promise a lie.”
