Iris Quotes

“You literally cannot breathe without saying His name. God is life. Yh. Wh.”
― Susan May Warren, Iris

“Did you know, Hudson, that the word Yahweh is the Jewish name for God? When Moses asked God what his name was, he said, what translates to Yh Wh. The Hebrew alphabet added the rest to give it intonation. But if you stop and say that, it sounds exactly like breathing. Yh. Wh. Out. In. The scriptures say that in Him we live and move and have our being. He is the very air in our lungs. You literally cannot breathe without saying His name. God is life. God loves you, He made you, and He keeps you breathing, even when people we love have cancer. And it’s on this truth that you root your life.”

“We worry most about the things we trust God the least with. If you want God to move in your life, you need to stop trying to control everything. The root of control is fear. And God’s perfect love for us casts out fear.”

“God has always been present in your life, Hudson. You just don’t realize that he’s in every breath you take, every beat of your heart. He is ground under your feet and the air you breathe. And most of all, he’s the one that put the love for our daughter in your heart.”

“Let’s call it a cell. And we could talk to each other through this hole in the floor, and he was just…like, an angel. He kept telling me that I wasn’t alone, that God was with me. Told me not to be afraid. I don’t know—he was right. God was with me. Judah told me that peace isn’t the absence of fear, but the presence of Jesus, and I felt that, you know?”
