Quote

When it seems as if God is far away, remind yourself that He is near. Nearness is not a matter of geography. God is everywhere. Nearness is likeness. The more we become like the Lord, the nearer He is to us.

He knows when we go into the storm, He watches over us in the storm, and He can bring us out of the storm when His purposes have been fulfilled.

The ability to calm your soul and wait before God is one of the most difficult things in the Christian life. Our old nature is restless... the world around us is frantically in a hurry. But a restless heart usually leads to a reckless life.

God doesn't bless us just to make us happy He blesses us to make us a blessing.

A good book is like a seed: it produces fruit that has in it seed for more fruit. It is not a picture on the wall it is a window that invies us to wider horizons.

The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.

We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can't control the weather or the economy, and we can't control what other people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control--we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart.

Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.

Faithfulness in the small things will lead to blessing in the big things.

Image
The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy. Our thoughts become shackled, our emotions are chained, the will is almost paralyzed. But when we show mercy, all of these bonds are broken, and we enter into a joyful liberty that frees us to share God's love with others.

Jesus asked the Father for his disciples' security, sanctity and unity. Jesus still intercedes for us so fervently because we live in a world that is deceived, dangerous, defiled and divided.

Christ is more concerned about what we do with Him than for Him.

Heaven is more than a destination it is a motivation. Knowing that we shall dwell in the heavenly city ought to make a difference in our lives here and now.

It is a remarkable thing that some of the most optimistic and enthusiastic people you will meet are those who have been through intense suffering.
