George MacDonald
But, for as cold and wretched as it looks, the sun has not forsaken it. He has only drawn away from it a little, for good reasons, one of which is that we may learn that we cannot do without him.
George MacDonald
O Christ, my life, possess me utterly. Take me and make a little Christ of me. If I am anything but thy father's son, 'Tis something not yet from the darkness won. Oh, give me light to live with open eyes. Oh, give me life to hope above all skies.
George MacDonald
I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans — I do not say for thinking about them.
George MacDonald
One chief cause of the amount of unbelief in the world is tha tthose who have seen something of the glory of Christ set themselves to theorize concerning him rather than to obey him.
George MacDonald
There is but one thing that can free a man from superstition, and that is belief. All history proves it. The most sceptical have ever been the most credulous.
George MacDonald
In Giving, a man receives more than he gives and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.
