Excerpt from Ezra 8:22, “The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him;…”
Ravi Zacharias argues that the cure for loneliness is worship. A provocative and excellent thought! (The Inner Ache of Loneliness, Part 2 of 4, RZIM)
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Walden, Henry David Thoreau
Be not like the mass of men. Find peace and a friend in God.
“Whatever we see, there is almost always more. It is probably the one thing we can count on—and the one thing we do not. Christian philosopher Esther Lightcap Meek writes, “We labor under the misimpression that we see what we see, that seeing is believing, that either I see it or I don’t.”(3) Perhaps seeing is not always about 20/20, and seeing God is something else altogether.” Jill Carattini, A Slice of Infinity, RZIM

“He [Paul] assured them that nothing shall fail of all that the Lord hath spoken concerning His tried and faithful ones. They shall arise and shine; for the light of the Lord shall arise upon them. They shall put on their beautiful garments when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. For a little season they may be in heaviness through manifold temptations, they may be destitute of earthly comfort; but they must encourage their hearts by saying, I know in whom I have believed. He is able to keep that which I have committed to His trust. His rebuke will come to an end, and the glad morning of peace and perfect day will come.” – {SR 318.2} Ellen G. white, The Story of Redemption, Chapter 43

Namrata Soni: My favorite makeup artist. Pure genius; pure drama; pure fearlessness. Straight from Mumbai to the rest of the world. She was at the Cannes festival this year, making Sonam Kapoor and other L’Oreal ambassadors look gorgeous. Her hair and makeup creations are always perfection.
Some of her looks:
Winner of IIfa for Om Shanti Om Makeup looks
Pat McGrath
She is the woman behind some of my favorite makeup looks. She understands art on the face.
She has been called the most influential makeup artist in the world.

How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
