St. Augustine of Hippo
“My
feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word
defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives.
And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When
that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the
truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my
perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync
with the truth.”

Brennan Manning, Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

no matter its most horrific repercussions.”
― Criss
Jami, Venus in Arms
