More quotes by William Mountford
Night by night I will lie down and sleep in the thought of God, and in the thought, too, that my waking may be in the bosom of the Father and some time it will be, so I trust.
William Mountford
Let God do with me what He will, anything He will and, whatever it be, it will be either heaven itself, or some beginning of it.
William Mountford
Ownership in the world I have none, but I have an infinite interest in it for if not my own it is my God's and so it is mine in a higher than a legal sense. Yes, this is the beauty, this is the whole sublimity, this is the tender delight of life - that it is of God's governing.
William Mountford
Only let us love God, and then nature will compass us about like a cloud of Divine witnesses and all influences from the earth, and things on the earth, will be ministers of God to do us good. Only let there be God within us, and then every thing outside us will become a godlike help.
William Mountford
Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom.
William Mountford
God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.
William Mountford
To understand at all what life means, one must begin with Christian belief. And I think knowledge may be sorrow with a man unless he loves.
William Mountford
Not every hour, nor every day, perhaps, can generous wishes ripen into kind actions but there is not a moment that cannot be freighted with prayer.
William Mountford
... science and speculation pass into mystery at last.
William Mountford
It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
William Mountford
No martyr ever went the way of duty, and felt the shadow of death upon it. The shadow of death is darkest in the valley, which men walk in easily, and is never felt at all on a steep place, like Calvary. Truth is everlasting, and so is every lover of it and so he feels himself almost always.
William Mountford
Do we not hear voices, gentle and great, and some of them like the voices of departed friends,— do we not hear them saying to us, Come up hither?
William Mountford
To commiserate is sometimes more than to give, for money is external to a man's self, but he who bestows compassion communicates his own soul.
William Mountford
This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty.
William Mountford
O it is a happy thing to feel ourselves helpless and naught, for then the presence of God is felt to wrap us about so lovingly! Everlasting, infinite, almighty, these are the words that strengthen us with speaking them.
William Mountford
Selfishness, eager for a heaven of enjoyment, is quite a different thing in the soul from love and purity and truth, yearning together for what is their natural element.
William Mountford
Duty reaches down the ages in its effects, and into eternity and when the man goes about it resolutely, it seems to me now as though his footsteps were echoing beyond the stars, though only heard faintly in the atmosphere of this world.
William Mountford
Let a disciple live as Christ lived, and he will easily believe in living again as Christ does.
William Mountford
Day and night, and every moment, there are voices about us. All the hours speak as they pass and in every event there is a message to us and all our circumstances talk with us but it is in Divine language, that worldliness misunderstands, that selfishness is frightened at, and that only the children of God hear rightly and happily.
William Mountford
When we feel how God was in our sorrows, we shall trust the more blessedly that He will be in our deaths.
