What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.

If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald
Image
I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
George MacDonald
Image
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
Image
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
Image
Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

Attitudes are more important than facts.
George MacDonald
Image
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
George MacDonald

In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
