Kindle Notes & Highlights
The times we feel more distanced from God are the times when we’re suffering or in pain. Despite the lack of strength during those times, God makes us work our way back to Him again. Then He rewards us for our faith and perseverance.
“Progress takes time, Luca. Don’t feel down. You might not be where you want to be, but you’re also not where you were yesterday. Each day is a baby step. You just keep looking forward and taking them, and I promise one day you’re going to look back and be surprised how far those tiny little steps have taken you.”
What comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy.”
“Sometimes when love isn’t enough to make things right, we need to let it go.”
“We all have light and dark inside us, love. We try to hide the darkness from others because we’re afraid it will scare them away. But your dark doesn’t scare me, Luca. It only makes me want to hold your hand and be your light until you can find your own again. That’s what people do when they’re in love. I won’t always be able to give you your light back, because sometimes you need to find that within yourself, but I’ll stand by your side and hold your hand in the dark so things aren’t so scary.”
The day you walked away, You never really left. You may not know it. But you’re still here. You say you’re scared . . . But I’m scared, too, To live in this world without you. You can leave, but you’ll always be here. In my heart and soul . . . everywhere. You’re in me. Till the end, It will always be you, my friend. They tell me to move on. But if I do, When I look at her, I’ll only see you. You’re in me. Till the end, It will always be you, my friend.
Where were all the tearjerker movies when you needed them? Dear John, A Dog’s Purpose, maybe Me Before You.
