Dashed Quotes

“If this accident were a wave, I did not think there would ever be a way I could learn to kiss it. Yet it was in that very place of peril, as I was dashed against a rock, that I met face to face with the Rock of Ages. Hardships can take from our life or they can add to it. Usually, they do both. Hardships produce the inky grey and black pigments which contrast upon the otherwise blank canvas of our lives. The dark, black, empty moments of life are very rarely enjoyable, but they are not worthless. In the hands of a loving God, they can and will serve a purpose.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose
