More quotes by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Jesus died as He had lived-praying, forgiving, loving, sacrificing, trusting, quoting Scripture. If I die as I have lived, how will I die?
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
An evidence that our will has been broken is that we begin to thank God for that which once seemed so bitter, knowing that his will is good and that, in His time and in His way, He is able to make the most bitter waters sweet.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Bitterness grows in us when we fail to see the trouble and pain in our lives from God's point of view, and when our expectations of what life should be diverge from the reality of what life really is.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Proud people keep others at arm's length. Broken people are willing to take the risks of getting close to others and loving intimately.

You will never be more secure, you will never be more safe, and you will never be happier, more satisfied, than when you are trusting and obeying: resting in sovereignty and surrendering to sovereignty.

Being disconnected from the local church, for whatever reason, is a dangerous way to live. Not only do these “ lone rangers” miss out on the blessings of functioning within the context of the body of Christ, but like lone sheep away from the safety of the flock and the watchful care of the shepherd, they are vulnerable to predators of every sort.

I want to live in such a way that, if it is only twenty-nine more days or twenty-nine more weeks, or if it is twenty-nine more years or more, I want to faithful with each one of those-that I could go and meet the Lord without regrets, without unfinished business.

O God, make us desperate, and grant us faith and boldness to approach Your throne and make our petitions known, knowing that in doing we link arms with Omnipotence and become instruments of Your eternal purposes being fulfilled on this earth.

God can be trusted. He keeps His promises. He doesn't make any mistakes.

Holiness is not just for some select few spiritual giants it is not just for pious people who sit around all day with nothing to do but “be holy.”... “Everyone who names the name of the Lord” is called to live a holy life!

God's Will is what we would choose if we knew what God knows.

Sound theology should always lead us to doxology and transformation.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Mark it down—your progress in holiness will never exceed your relationship with the holy Word of God.

Gratitude is a lifestyle. A hard-fought, grace-infused, biblical lifestyle.

The ultimate purpose of marriage is not to make us happy but to glorify God.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
The Truth is that contentment is not found in having everything we think we want but in choosing to be satisfied with what God has already provided. The Truth is that those who insist on having their own way often end up with unnecessary heartache, while those who wait on the Lord always get His best.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
God is good whether or not His choices seem right to us, whether or not we feel it, whether or not it seems true, and whether or not He gives us everything that we want.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
God looks at the heart, and we shouldn't judge by appearance . . . but we still live on the earth, and everyone here looks at the exterior, because only God sees the interior.
