To men and women everywhere Jesus says, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.

This is what you are here for: to glorify God and enjoy Him thoroughly and forever, telling the universe how great God is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we make provision for sinning tomorrow, we will be sinning tomorrow.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed... The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
He fills heaven and earth as the ocean fills the bucket that is submerged in it, and as the ocean surrounds the bucket so does God in the universe He fills. The heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee. God is not contained: He contains.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Mans nature indicates that he was created for three things: To think, to worship and to work. But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the Mystery inexpressible.

How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.

God never uses anyone greatly until He tests them deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The world is waiting to hear an authentic voice, a voice from God- not an echo of what others are doing and saying, but an authentic voice.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I believe in Christian charity, but I don't believe in Christian tolerance... When we become so tolerate that we lead people into mental fog and spiritual darkness, we are not acting like Christians we are acting like cowards!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
You have been forgiven, so act like it!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The widest thing in the universe is not space it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.

Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.

Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Sometimes I go to God and say, God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.
