Me: I want you to remember something today.

Prodigal: Am all ears.

Me: God never tires of forgiving, but we often tire of seeking his mercy.

This is from the book No Man Is An Island by Thomas Merton

We are not perfectly free until we live in pure hope. For when our hope is pure, it no longer trusts exclusively in human and visible means, nor rests in any visible end. He who hopes in God trusts God, Whom he never sees, to bring him to the possession of things that are beyond imagination.

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Romans 11:19 (KJV)
