“God is even kinder than you think.”

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

We may speak of love and humility as the true flowers of spiritual growth; and they give off a wonderful scent, which benefits all those who come near.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.

Be kind to all and severe to thyself.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything – God alone suffices.

If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.

What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!

Do not think you have gained a virtue unless you have first been tried by its opposite.

Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.

Teach by works more than words.

I’m dead in the water if I can’t see the all sufficient glory of God.

If only everyone could know we’ve been created by and for God! If only we could all comprehend that we’re precious to Him, housing mirrored souls designed to reflect His glory.

Why are all Christians happy and praising Jesus? It’s because we are not DEAD! We may be imperfect, but we aren’t DEAD!

I have chosen you!’ Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.

Not the one who knows the most, but the one who loves faithfully and consistently the most, is a true follower of Jesus.

More often than not, it is what you are rather than what you say that will bring an unbeliever to Christ. This, then, is the ultimate apologetic. For the ultimate apologetic is: your life.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

God calls each and every star by name. It’s not likely He has forgotten yours.
