The true challenge of charity is not in the gifting of your trash but of your treasure, not your worst but your best.

I treat my thoughts like an old person treats their valuables: I cannot for the life of me proceed to throwing them out.

If you assume that the new - and simply because it's new - is always to be better than the old, chances are you've never known anything valuable.

God is not some lesser employee, as many try to make Him out to be: rather He is the ultimate Treasure. He works in a man; He works on a man; He works through a man; He works around a man. Know that He does far more than simply work for a man. And yet, even as He Himself needs no one else, everyone else is ever in need of Him.
