“Funny thing how when you reach out, people tend to reach right back. Best, then, to make sure your hand is open and not fisted.”

“When you reach out to hurting people, that’s when God is going to make sure your needs are supplied. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.”

“When you are small, if you reach out, and nobody takes your hand, you stop reaching out, and reach inside, instead.”

“Hell is when people you love the most reach right into your soul and rip it out of you. And they do it because they can.”

“I got to thinking—when it was too late—you have to reach out to people. To your family, too. You can't just let them sit there, you should put your hand out. If they slap it back, well you reach out again if you care enough. If you don't care enough, you forget about them, if you can.”

“Love makes us instinctively reach out to God and other people. Lust, on the other hand, is anything but godly and celebrates self-indulgence. Love comes with open hands and open heart; lust comes with only an open appetite.”
