your fav Holy Quote(s) that brings you peace

B�b� K�h� of Sh�r�z

In the market, in the cloister � only God I saw
In the valley and on the mountain, -- only God I saw.
Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;
In favour and in fortune � only God I saw.
In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,
In the religion of the Prophet � only God I saw.
Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,
Qualities nor causes � only God I saw.
Like a candle I was melting in His fire
Amidst the flames outflashing -- only God I saw.
Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,
But when I looked with God�s eyes � only God I saw.
I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,
And lo, I was the All-living, -- only God I saw.



Rabbi Abram Isaac Kook

Radiant Is The World Soul
Full of splendor and beauty,
Full of life,
Of souls hidden,
Of treasures of the holy spirit,
Of fountains of strength,
Of greatness and beauty.
Proudly I ascend
Toward the heights of the world soul
That gives life to the universe.
How majestic the vision � Come, enjoy,
Come, find peace,
Embrace delight,
Taste and see that God is good.
Why spend your substance on what does not nourish
And your labor on what cannot satisfy?
Listen to me, and you will enjoy what is good,
And find delight in what is truly precious.



I find great comfort in the words of the mystics. I hope you can see the beauty as well.

the one in my signature. it truly explains that heaven is not hard to find, all we got to do is look.

oh yes and of course, "if i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if i have the faith that can move mountains, but have not love, i am nothing." I corinthians 13:2

"the truth shall set you free"
"seek and you shall find"

or something like that.
Those I think are the best.

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, "specially" of those that believe.
1 Timothy 4:10

Judges 4:21
21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
(NKJ)

This verse dosn't really bring me peace, but it does remind me of a Quentin Tarantino film.
