More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll

Charles R. Swindoll
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

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.
Charles R. Swindoll
God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it-not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

Not once does the Bible report that (Jesus) rushed anywhere. He was often busy, but never in a mad dash. And yet He perfectly accomplished all the Father designed for Him to do.
Charles R. Swindoll
God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.

Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view. You look at life's difficulties and tests as God looks at them. You look at family life and child rearing as God looks at them. You interpret current events as God would interpret them. You see the truth even though all around you are deception and lies.
