Henri J.M. Nouwen Quotes
You Keep Listening To Those Who Seem To Reject You. But They Never Speak About You. They Speak About Their Own Limitations. They Confess Their Poverty In The Face Of Your Needs And Desires. They Simply Ask For Your Compassion. They Do Not Say That You Are Bad, Ugly, Or Despicable. They Say Only That You Are Asking For Something They Cannot Give And That They Need To Get Some Distance From You To Survive Emotionally. The Sadness Is That You Perceive Their Necessary Withdrawal As A Rejection Of You Instead Of As A Call To Return Home And Discover There Your True Belovedness.
