More quotes by Ann Voskamp
They say time is money, but that's not true. Time is life. And if I want the fullest life, I need to find fullest time... the busyness of your life leaving little room for the source of your life... God gives us time. And who has time for God? Which makes no sense.
Ann Voskamp
We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.
Ann Voskamp
This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity.
Ann Voskamp
We live in a broken world - and for the life of me I can't get it all right. But Jesus takes all our broken messes and He makes them, by His grace, into a mosaic of grace.
Ann Voskamp
We don't see the material world for what it is meant to be: the means to communion with God.... There is a belief missing, that God is good and that he gives good gifts.
Ann Voskamp
God’s purposes are not for me to understand His plans: His plan is for me to understand Who He is.
Ann Voskamp
Because One died for me that I might breathe this breath...It's all a gift.
Ann Voskamp
You, who were made by Love, made for love-- be still and know and watch love come down.
Ann Voskamp
I don't want a Christmas you can buy. I don't want a Christmas you can make. What I want is a Christmas you can hold. A Christmas that holds me, remakes me, revives me. I want a Christmas that whispers, Jesus.
Ann Voskamp
Who would ever know the greater graces of comfort and perserverance, mercy and forgiveness, patience and courage, if no shadows fell over a life?
Ann Voskamp
Simplicity is never a matter of circumstances simplicity is a matter of focus. So in the midst of educating and parenting our children, we can't necessarily go ahead and make everything fit into neat, controllable, simple schedules. But the point is, simplicity is: how do we keep our eyes fixed and focused on Christ, no matter where we are?
Ann Voskamp
Thanksgiving creates abundance and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.
Ann Voskamp
Every mountain that every Christian ever faces, the Lord levels with sufficient grace.
Ann Voskamp
Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.
Ann Voskamp
When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
Ann Voskamp
Fullness of joy is discovered only in the emptying of will.
Ann Voskamp
Poor communication doesn’t disconnect souls. It’s the disconnected souls who poorly communicate.
Ann Voskamp
I receive grace. And through me, grace could flow on. Like a cycle of water in continuous movement, grace is meant to fall, a rain...again, again, again. I could share the grace, multiply the joy, extend the table of the feast, enlarge the paradise of His presence. I am blessed. I can bless.
Ann Voskamp
Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.
Ann Voskamp
God is patiently transfiguring all the notes of my life into the song of His Son.
