“Unthankfulness is theft.”

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen

I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

Even if it doesn’t work out, you’ll be glad you lived when so many only dream of such a thing.

God’s mercies are new every morning. Receive them.

Only by Gods grace have I made it to see today and only by Gods grace will I ever see tomorrow.

I feel really grateful to the people who encouraged me and helped me develop. Nobody can succeed on their own.

My life has crept so long on a broken wing Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear, That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, “What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew i would never see it again?

Feel lost in the magic we call life. Feel humble in the miracles of success. Feel grateful in what lies beneath our failures. For our sun shines only to rise again.
