“We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That’s Weird.”

Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.

Trust whatever He has for you. It will be better than anything you can plan for yourself.

The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.

We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving ourselves because we were made to do these things.

Jesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses.

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.

When I am consumed by my problems-stressed out about my life, my family, and my job-I actually convey the belief that I think the circumstances are more important than God’s command to always rejoice.

God never breaks His promises.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

Do you understand that it’s impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender?

We are here to love. Not much else matters.

We should be so joyful from God’s grace that others would respond by saying, ‘I wish I had your God.

Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?

Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.

There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.

Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of every passion wants some pretence to make it live.

I read the newspapers with lively interest. It is seldom that they are absolutely, point-blank wrong. That is the popular belief, but those who are in the know can usually discern an embryo of truth, a little grit of fact, like the core of a pearl, round which have been deposited the delicate layers of ornament.

To live by medicine is to live horribly.

You never know what life means till you die; even throughout life, tis death that makes life live.

For deeds to die, however nobly done, And thoughts of men to as themselves decay, But wise words taught in numbers for to run, Recorded by the Muses, live for ay.
