28 Quotes by Michelle Griep

Are you under the impression that what you have or have not done is what gives you worth? Because that is nothing but a vile lie. God stamps His value on everyone—on you-- by virtue of His grace. ~ Alex to Johanna~

A person’s character is most clearly seen not by what they show, but what they hide.

When we’re at our weakest, God’s at His strongest. We serve a powerful God, boy, and last time I checked, He was still on the throne.

It’s hard to believe now, Johanna, but love gets easier once the heart is broken. It’s a casting away of the shell. Of course it hurts. It’s meant to. But broken things are always the beginning of better things. A plant could not grow without first the ground being broken. The most plentiful yields come from a field ravaged by a plow.

Perhaps God is not calling you to live for peace, but rather to fight for it.

I don’t know all you’ve done, but God knows. And even in the knowing, He chose to love you.

Broken bones, torn flesh, those things could be mended, but how did one heal a mind so ravaged by sorrow?

Insects, birds, and small game all chattered, yet for a while, they sat in peace. In an odd way, connection and understanding thrived on the non-words. The forest spoke like God’s voice, alive and real, leaving healing and hope in the wake of silence.

It’s more noble to love, even if it’s not returned, than to live without it.
