Henri Nouwen Quotes:

Ocupation: Priest

Life: January 24, 1932 - September 21, 1996

Birthday: January 24

Death: September 21

For as long as you can remember, you have been a pleaser, depending on others to give you an identity. You need not look at that only in a negative way. You wanted to give your heart to others, and you did so quickly and easily. But now you are being asked to let go of all these self-made props and trust that God is enough for you. You must stop being a pleaser and reclaim your identity as a free self.
