Are you in despair? Need inspiration?

I believe that Jesus learned from everyone. He did not just stick with Christians or Jewish people….he talked to everyone. Here is a collection of uplifting quotes from a wide range of spiritual, cultural, and philosophical traditions, perfect for inspiring someone going through a tough time. These speak to hope, resilience, compassion, and inner strength - we can all benefit from other people’s backgrounds and beliefs. I consider myself a Christian, but I studied Buddhism, and so did my Southern Baptist Missionary brother. I visited a Mormon Church a few weeks ago, and it was such a nice experience. God wants you to be a witness right and spread his word? How can you do that when you make others the enemy. Why not win others over? We all could use more friends...more allies. Remember, Jesus, the Buddha, Mother Theresa, Dr. King, Gandhi…they did not discriminate….they were peacemakers…talking to everyone. It is not just the words we speak but the actions we take…we influence each other. I sin just like everyone…but I will try to be a good example and give you some inspiration by shining the light on the words of Jesus and other peacemakers. Peace and Love, Ev
