You alone heard the quiet cry of my heart.
From The Light You Need: Words of Hope and Encouragement
by Christy Ann Martine and John Mark Green
If you’ve ever loved through pain, smiled through tears, or helped through heartache — you are a beacon of hope.
Every heart has a history, each scar tells a story.
This world will wound you, so be brave on your journey. - John Mark Green
Life is breath on windowpanes, we trace our hearts into the gray, while knowing time will fade it all away. - John Mark Green
