As long as you hate your enemy, a jail door is closed and a prisoner is taken. But when you try to understand and release your foe from your hatred, then the prisoner is released and that prisoner is you.

More quotes by Max Lucado
No place is too common. No person is too hardened. No distance is too far. There's no person God cannot reach. There's no limit to his love.
Max Lucado
How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have. You still have your relationship with God. No one can take that.

The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

Pastoring the flock with words. I love that. We always have a prayer time in the middle of our service. We take about eight or ten minutes before I preach, after we've sung, and invite people to come forward for prayer. That's a tender moment to me. I don't preach much in that, but I like to speak to the people.

Are you weary? Catch your breath. Are you strong? Reserve passing judgment on the tired.

That's what I'm hoping we can all do, is come together in a spirit of prayer.

God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.
Max Lucado
I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore? I think that's a very common connection we tend to make. I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.

God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen
Max Lucado
I think we pray, we make a clear-headed decision, and then we quit being so mean to each other. We've got to stop that.
Max Lucado
When you give a gift to one of God's children, you give a gift to God.

God's mercies are new every morning. Receive them.
Max Lucado
Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.
Max Lucado
How grimy did God get when He reached down to clean you up? How grimy are you willing to get in order to be an 'imitator of God'?
Max Lucado
God does not exist to make a big deal out of us. We exist to make a big deal out of him. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's all about him.
Max Lucado
I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin.
Max Lucado
We’re grateful when all is well, but can we say the same on disastrous days?
