More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.
Alexander MacLaren
God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of His making but He does not give us power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is.
Alexander MacLaren
There is one thing that makes life mighty in its veriest trifles, worthy in its smallest deeds, that delivers it from monotony, that delivers it from insignificance. All will be great, nothing will be overpowering, when, living in communion with Jesus Christ, we say as He says, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.
Alexander MacLaren
Love is the foundation of all obedience.
Alexander MacLaren
Duty is duty, conscience is conscience, right is right, and wrong is wrong, whatever sized type they may be printed in. Large or small are not words for the vocabulary of conscience.
Alexander MacLaren
The vision of the Divine presence ever takes the form which our circumstances most require.
Alexander MacLaren
The manliness of Christian love, and the putting away from ourselves of all fear, because we are perfected in love, is one of the highest lessons that the gospel teaches us, and one of the greatest things which the gospel gives us.
Alexander MacLaren
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Alexander MacLaren
Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.
Alexander MacLaren
Let me always remember that it is not the amount of religious knowledge which I have, but the amount which I use, that determines my religious position and character.
Alexander MacLaren
The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.
Alexander MacLaren
We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
The tears of Christ are the pity of God. The gentleness of Jesus is the long-suffering of God. The tenderness of Jesus is the love of God. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
Alexander MacLaren
The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.
Alexander MacLaren
To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty.
Alexander MacLaren
The never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
Alexander MacLaren
The grave has a door on its inner side.
Alexander MacLaren
Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.
Alexander MacLaren
If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it.
Alexander MacLaren
A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on.
