All I know is that the closer I get to God, the deeper I get into the Bible, and the heavier the burden seems on my shoulders.
The World Cup is not just a great global sporting event, it is also inscribed with much deeper cultural and political importance.
There is a breeze blowing. I see it in the deep discontent that is being voiced with the threadbare state of the evangelical world, with its empty worship, its market-driven superficiality, and its trivial thought. It is a breeze blowing toward better, deeper, more honest things. I suspect that it is the Holy Spirit who is blowing, that this is his breeze, and that these leaves that are shaking are the signs of better things to come within an evangelical faith that is thus being reformed. Let us all pray that it is so!
I peered deeper and found my soul. A little tattered and with some holes, but there all the same. It had always been there, I realized with shock.
Mountains draw you to a deeper place in yourself
Fiction writing is a strange business when you think about it. You sit down and weave a network of lies to explore deeper truths.
If the prodigal quits life in debt to others, the miser quits it still deeper in debt to himself.
But novels are never about what they are about; that is, there is always deeper, or more general, significance. The author may not be aware of this till she is pretty far along with it.
In your body, there exists a subtle current of electricity, very subtle. But the subtler it is, the deeper it goes. It is not very visible. Scientists say that all the electricity that is in your body, if put together, can be used to light a five-candle bulb. It is not much. Quantitatively it is not much, quantitatively the atom is not much, but qualitatively. . . If it explodes, it has tremendous energy in it.
Life's harder, the deeper you feel things.
You could give Aristotle a tutorial and you could thrill him to the core of his being. Aristotle was an encyclopedic polymath, an all time intellect, yet not only can you know more than him about the world, you also can have a deeper understanding of how everything works. Such is the privilege of living after Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Planck, Watson, Crick and their colleagues.
When we understand clearly that inner peace is the real source of happiness, and how, through spiritual practice, we can experience progressively deeper levels of inner peace, we will develop tremendous enthusiasm to practice
It is commonly said and known that each civilization has its own religion. Now my claim is that if we look deeper, the different civilizations were brought into being by the different revelations.
That was when I cut my arms with a razor blade as a means of creative expression. I only did it lightly, just grazing the skin, to see the way the blood would bleed out, to make myself look tougher. Not like some of those kids who keep going deeper and deeper, wondering what they look like down to the bone, because it's a world that's so close and yet so far and so dangerous and so much their own. The only world that is their own.
Many great ideas need refreshment and deeper analysis. "Freedom," for example, is a great idea but it has become a cliché.
I admit that for me love goes deeper than the struggle, or maybe what I mean is, love is the deeper struggle.
You're alone with yourself and your own feelings and that gives you deeper access to what you need to get in touch with to write poetry.
Forgiving does not usually happen at once. It is a process, sometimes a long one, especially when it comes to wounds gouged deep. And we must expect some lapses. . . some people seem to manage to finish off forgiving in one swoop of the heart. But when they do, you can bet they are forgiving flesh wounds. Deeper cuts take more time and can use a second coat.
