Sincerely, Saint John

“Don’t be the reason someone feels insecure. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard and supported.”

“الكل سيذهب إلى الله بعد وفاته، لكن السعيد من ذهب إلى الله في حياتهAll people go to Allah after their death, but the happy person is the one who goes to Allah while still alive.”

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

I see my life as an unfolding set of opportunities to awaken.

The dunya (worldly life) isn’t worth getting stressed out over.

“Man, after having vainly sought for the light of the Truth in externals, and found nothing but darkness, at last discovers that the land of the sunrise exists within his own soul.” Franz Hartmann

Go straight to God. Don’t let fear or shame stop you from having intimacy with Him. Don’t settle for the trappings of a Christian life without the relationship.
