and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.

Trust God's love.  His perfect love. 
Don't fear he will discover your past.  He already has. 
Don't fear disappointing him in the future. 
He can show you the chapter in which you will. 
With perfect knowledge of the past and perfect vision of the future,
he loves you perfectly in spite of both.
Max Lucado





Let Jesus be in your heart,
eternity in your spirit,
the world under your feet,
the will of God in your actions.
And let the love of God shine forth from you.
Catherine of Genoa
