William Barclay
Image
There is only one way to bring peace to the heart, joy to the mind, and beauty to the life it is to accept and do the will of God.
William Barclay
Image
We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.
William Barclay
Image
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
There is a time when to avoid trouble is to store up trouble, and when to seek for a lazy and a cowardly peace is to court a still greater danger.
William Barclay
Image
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
Image

William Barclay
Image
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
William Barclay
Image
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
Image
It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.
William Barclay
Image
If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.
William Barclay
Image
Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.
William Barclay
Image
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay
Image
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.
William Barclay
Image
In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
William Barclay
Image
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
William Barclay
Image
Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
William Barclay
Image
The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.
William Barclay
Image
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.
William Barclay
Image
We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.
