“Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father’s love — difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul’s miseries, her burdens, her needs — everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness — Everything is a grace because everything is God’s gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events — to the heart that loves, all is well.” ~St. Therese of the Child Jesus
This is a beautiful quote from a beautiful saint that really stuck out when I read it today. "Everything is a grace." I found this to be a very profound statement; maybe it is because today's burdens seemed to outnumber its joys. But whether they are burdens or joys, they are all blessings. They teach me humility and gratitude and patience and love. They help me realize my own weakness. And where humility and weakness are found, there is beauty and there is God. And thank goodness! Without Him, my life would be a mess. He picks me up when I fall, He mends what I break, He smiles when I can't, and He loves when I don't. Tonight, I just wanted to say thank you, Jesus. Teach me to love. <3
"To the heart that loves, all is well."
