i was directed to this page awhile back and decided to revisit it today... here are a few of the quotes of this page i have been encouraged by.
Be A Good Steward of Your Pain
"Being a good steward of your pain...It involves being alive to your life. It involves taking the risk of being open, of reaching out, of keeping in touch with the pain as well as the joy of what happens because at no time more than at a painful time do we live out of the depths of who we are instead of out of the shallows."
— The Clown in the Belfry
Compassion
"Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it's like to live inside somebody else's skin.
"It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."

Two Kinds of Church
"The visible church is all the people who get together from time to time in God's name. Anybody can find out who they are by going to church to look.
"The invisible church is all the people God uses for his hands and feet in this world. Nobody can find out who they are except God."
