“Love is like that: insistent, sure, persuasive. It silences easily all whispers of misgiving.”
“The Lord pleads with insistence, love, and persuasion that we repent, because He wants to heal us.”
“But who ever heeds the voice of reason when love whispers, softly persuasive, in the other ear?”
“To yield readily--easily--to the persuasion of a friend is no merit.... To yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of either.”
“I want to put silencers on all guns. That way war will be nothing more than a whisper in the future. And all those who are caught whispering will be shot.”
“I am sure there is a future state; I believe God is good; I can resign my immortal part to Him without any misgiving. God is my father; God is my friend: I love Him; I believe He loves me.”
