More quotes by Richard Paul Evans
Love is never convenient-and rarely painless
Richard Paul Evans
We carry around in our heads these pictures of what our lives are supposed to look like, painted by the brush of out intentions. It's the great, deep secret of humanity that in the end none of our lives look the way we thought they would. As much as we wish to believe otherwise, most of life is a reaction to circumstances.
Richard Paul Evans
Leah taught me that the greatest secret of life is that we find exactly what we're looking for. In spite of what happens to us, ultimately we decide whether our lives are good or bad, ugly or beautiful.
Richard Paul Evans
...for we are all amateurs at life, but if we do not focus too much on our mistakes, a miraculous picture emerges. And we learn that it's not the beauty of the image that warrants our gratitude--it's the chance to paint.
Richard Paul Evans
In your hurry to keep Christmas, you have forgotten Christmas. The truest gift of Christmas is the gift of self.
Richard Paul Evans
Usually the most interesting stories are written not on paper but hearts.
Richard Paul Evans
...even the most horribl e of nightmares is laced with the promise of dawn.
Richard Paul Evans
Life is the soil, our choices and actions the sun and rain, but our dreams are the seeds.
Richard Paul Evans
Sometimes, when tragedy strikes, people give up hope that they can expect anything more from life, when the real quest is finding out what life expects from them.
Richard Paul Evans
Denial, perhaps, is a necessary human mechanism to cope with the heartaches of life.
Richard Paul Evans
I've wondered why the famous congregate with each other. Perhaps it's to assure each other that they really are as important as they think they are.
Richard Paul Evans
We stone our prophets, then build monuments to them after they're gone.
Richard Paul Evans
Wait and see is no easier now than it was as a child.
Richard Paul Evans
It is in the dark times that the light of friendship shines brightest.
Richard Paul Evans
Heroes rarely look the way we draw them in our minds: attractive, imposing figures with rippling muscles and strong chins. More times than not they are humble beings, small and flawed. It is only their spirits that are beautiful and strong.
Richard Paul Evans
It is a peculiar thing to believe that you know someone intimately only to find that you really do not. It is like finishing a book only to discover that you have missed several key chapters. THE LETTER Chapter 9 page 104
Richard Paul Evans
The concept of spiritual healing was something I was raised with.
Richard Paul Evans
There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives
Richard Paul Evans
As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker's socks. These stowaways may seem insignificant at first, but, over time, if we do not occasionally stop and shake them free, the accumulation becomes a burden to our souls.
Richard Paul Evans
I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life. There are others, fellow sojourners, whose journeys are interwoven with ours in seemingly random patterns, yet, in the end, have been carefully placed to reveal a remarkable tapestry. I believe God is the weaver at that loom.
