George MacDonald

I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.
George MacDonald
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
What does God want me to do?”, not “What will God do if I do so and so?
George MacDonald
We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.
George MacDonald
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
George MacDonald
I know my Easts and Tom Brown, you see, and they're never happy unless their morality is being tried in the furnace and they can feel they are doing the right Christian thing and never mind the consequences to anyone else.
George MacDonald
We can walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in.
