“A suffering person does not need a lecture – he needs a listener.”

Becoming a Christian is the work of a moment; being a Christian is the work of a lifetime.

Even if we may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen to us, we can know He is able to bring good out of evil, and triumph out of suffering.

You can’t control the length of your life. You can control the depth

The way we live often speaks far louder than our words.

Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.

All around you are people whose lives are filled with trouble and sorrow, and they need your compassion and encouragement.

God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice.

Someday your life will be over, no matter how much attention you give to your health. Will you look back with regret, because you nourished your body but starved your soul?

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God’s love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life’s journey can be different. With God’s help you can begin again.

We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?

It is the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge and my job to love.

Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality.

Ask God to show you His plans, not bless your dreams

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It rests in Christ who is coming again.

If you find a perfect church don’t join it: You’d spoil it.

Within the body there is played Music unending, though without stringed instruments That music of the Word pervades the entire creation Who listens to it is freed from all illusion.

Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you. The one no one talks of speaks the secret sound to himself, and he is the one who has made it all.

Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.

Listen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart.

If you want the truth, I’ll tell you the truth. Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

Listen to me, my Friend! My beloved Lord is within.

Songs are as sad as the listener.

The observer listens to nature: the experimenter questions and forces her to reveal herself.
