George MacDonald

George MacDonald
To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's care is more evident in some instances than in others and upon such instances men seize, and call them providences. It is well that they can but it would be gloriously better if they could believe that the whole matter is one grand providence.
George MacDonald

Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.
George MacDonald
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
George MacDonald
To say on the authority of the Bible that God does a thing no honourable man would do, is to lie against God to say that it is therefore right, is to lie against the very spirit of God.
George MacDonald
I came from God, and I'm going back to God, and I won't have any gaps of death in the middle of my life.
George MacDonald
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
George MacDonald
Which of us is other than a secret to all but God!
George MacDonald
