i still believe.

This quote was found scratched on the walls of a cellar in Cologne, Germany.  It was written by a Jew hiding from Nazi persecution.  Talk about faith when it made no sense.  Talk about choosing hope when it was easy to give up.  Talk about unconditional love when your heart hurt from fear.  Talk about perspective.

I found this quote and I loved it.  So I did some research to find the source, and when I did, it stung a bit.  It touched a part of my soul that needed encouragement.  I could write pages upon pages about the inspiring message this quote has left in my heart, but I will stop – because it needs no explanation. 

Choose faith.  Choose hope.  Choose love.  Life will never give you more than you can handle.  Don’t harden your heart to the world even when it’s hardened itself to you.

Happy Thursday.
