“As truly as God is our Father, so truly God is our Mother.”

We are in God and God whom we do not see is in us.

The age of every man shall be acknowledged before him in Heaven, and every man shall be rewarded for his willing service and for his time.

Love was without beginning, is, and shall be without ending.

The Elements of Prayer|Its ground: God, by whose goodness it springeth in us. |Its use: to turn our will to His will. |Its end: to be made one with Him and like to Him in all things.

He willeth to be perceived; and His appearing shall be swiftly sudden; and He willeth to be trusted. For He is full gracious and homely: Blessed may He be!

He [Jesus] did not say, ‘You will never have a rough passage, you will never be over-strained, you will never feel uncomfortable,’ but he did say, ‘You will never be overcome.

My, how busy we become when we lose sight of how God loves us.

The Lord looks on his servants with pity and not with blame. In God’s sight we do not fall; in our sight, we do not stand. Both of these are true, but the deeper insight belongs to God.

For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it.

Our natural Will is to have God, and the Good Will of God is to have us; and we may never cease from willing nor from longing till we have Him in fullness of joy: and then may we no more desire.

God willeth to be seen and to be sought: to be abided and to be trusted.

The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

In God’s sight we do not fall: in our own we do not stand.

As we know, our own mother bore us only into pain and dying. But our true mother, Jesus, who is all love, bears us into joy and endless living. Blessed may he be.

The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything. God is the ground, the substance, the teaching, the teacher, the purpose, and the reward for which every soul labors.

He said not ‘Thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed, thou shalt not be dis-eased’; but he said, ‘Thou shalt not be overcome.

When you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her; it is the love flowing from you own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to love. Love is always found flowing in your heart, not in your family, lover, career or art.

Family is not who’s blood is in you, is who you love and who loves you.

We set out what’s going to be our work time versus our foundation time versus family time, and we’ll reassess that… sometimes every week.

Women are the centre of the family. It’s the woman who decides what’s eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated; everything that has to do with the children’s health revolves around her.

Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

I grew up without a father, so I have to be on point for my kids.

There are only two families in the world, my old grandmother used to say, the Haves and the Have-nots.
