If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.
George MacDonald
Image
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
Image
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
Image
I rose as from the death that wipes out the sadness of life, and then dies itself in the new morrow.
George MacDonald
Image
It is the heart that is not sure of its God that is afraid to laugh in His presence.
George MacDonald
Image
Until a man has love, it is well he should have fear. So long as there are wild beasts about, it is better to be afraid than secure.
George MacDonald
Image
The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections. . . . Every time we find our hearts are troubled, that we are not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.
George MacDonald
Image
The Bible is to me the most precious thing in the world, because it tells me his story and what good men thought about him who knew him and accepted him.
George MacDonald
Image
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
George MacDonald
Image
But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.
George MacDonald
Image
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.
George MacDonald
Image
All that is made seems planless to the darkened mind, because there are more plans than it looked for...There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre.
George MacDonald
Image
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
Image
But it is not the rich man only who is under the dominion of things they too are slaves who, having no money, are unhappy from the lack of it.
George MacDonald
Image
The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
George MacDonald
Image
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
Image
Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
Image
It was foolish indeed - thus to run farther and farther from all who could help her, as if she had been seeking a fit spot for the goblin creature to eat her in at his leisure but that is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the thing we are afraid of.
George MacDonald
Image
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
Image
Come, then, affliction, if my Father wills, and be my frowning friend. A friend that frowns is better than a smiling enemy.
