Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
Image
The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
George MacDonald
Image
No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it--no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather!
George MacDonald
Image
I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.
George MacDonald
Image
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.
George MacDonald
Image
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.

She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.

Image
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.

Image
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Image
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
Image
The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is — not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him or say, to make him think things for himself.
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
People must not choose their neighbors they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.
George MacDonald
Image
On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald
Image
No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
George MacDonald
Image
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
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 ideal is the only absolute real and it must become the real in the individual life as well, however impossible they may count it who never tried it.
