More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Jesus has prepared the way and has made following our destiny possible, whereas we are helpless by ourselves. We can find and fulfill our purpose by responding to the clear, simple call of Jesus Christ: Follow Me. He is the doorway to fulfilling our destiny, where our divine design and God-ordained purpose live in perfect harmony.

God has called His creation to find satisfaction in a personal relationship with Him, and stop trying to manage the world by conforming it to our expectations, and to allow Him to govern His creation. He continues to say through an ancient Hebrew worship song, Be still and know that I am God!

I'm here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.
Charles R. Swindoll
Anxious. Intriguing word. It literally means, to be divided or distracted. It conveys the idea of being so mentally ill at ease that you cannot do what you need to do because you are so distracted in your thinking.
Charles R. Swindoll
Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.
Charles R. Swindoll
Worry erases the promises of God from your mind.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.

The past is over... forget it. The future holds hope... reach for it.
Charles R. Swindoll
God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
Charles R. Swindoll
The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.
Charles R. Swindoll
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
Charles R. Swindoll
God never asked us to meet life's pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.
