The Storm

 

Sending a huge thank you to my dear friend Saskia for introducing me to this brilliant quote.

She literally mailed me a box full of quotes and other goodies from London, England. This quote hit home.

Poetry by Bryant McGill, voice by Darius Bashar.

Love,

D

Here’s the full quote…

“The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the storm comes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open, you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, don't run from your pain — run into your pain. Let life's storm shatter you.”
