And in thy own sermon, thou That the sparrow falls dost allow, It shall not cause me any alarm For neither so comes the bird to harm, Seeing our Father, thou hast said, Is by the sparrow's dying bed Therefore it is a blessed place, And the sparrow in high grace.

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

Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace. It washes the slate clean. It sets all the highest values of love in motion.
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
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.

Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
Image
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
Image
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
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
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.

Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald

The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.

What does God want me to do?”, not “What will God do if I do so and so?
