“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.” ~ Tolstoy
I have found that it is only through loving and serving others, in dying to myself and thinking on the needs of those around me, that I can continue on, one foot in front of the other. It is actually in pouring myself out for others, loving, serving, that I find His presence, peace, and joy most prevalent.
