Howard Thurman Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• When the song of the angels is stilled,
  When the star in the sky is gone,
  When the kings and princes are home,
  When the shepherds are back with their flock,
  The work of Christmas begins:
  ...To find the lost,
  To heal the broken,
  To feed the hungry,
  To release the prisoner,
  To rebuild the nations,
  To bring peace among brothers,
  To make music in the heart.

• Listen to the long stillness:
  New life is stirring
  New dreams are on the wing
  New hopes are being readied:
  Humankind is fashioning a new heart
  Humankind is forging a new mind
  God is at work.
  This is the season of Promise

• Where refugees seek deliverance that never comesAnd the heart consumes itself as if it would live,Where children age before their timeAnd life wears down the edges of the mind,Where the old man sits with mind grown cold,While bones and sinew, blood and cell, go slowly down to death,Where fear companions each day's life,And Perfect Love seems long delayed.CHRISTMAS IS WAITING TO BE BORN:In you, in me, in all mankind.

  Howard Thurman

  Children, Heart, Men
