Do not look for evil. Look for the goodness of God all around you. As you look for signs of His presence, many more opportunities will occur for you to bless people and share God's true nature. ~Graham Cooke
#quotes #graham-cooke #god #evil

All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs
