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.

More quotes by William Mountford

Image
Faith is the inspiration of nobleness, it is the strength of integrity it is the life of love, and is everlasting growth for it it is courage of soul, and bridges over for our crossing the gulf between worldliness and heavenly-mindedness and it is the sense of the unseen, without which we could not feel God nor hope for heaven.
William Mountford
Image
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
Image
Let a disciple live as Christ lived, and he will easily believe in living again as Christ does.
William Mountford
Image
It would not be more unreasonable to transplant a favorite flower out of black earth into gold dust than it is for a person to let money-getting harden his heart into contempt, or into impatience, of the little attentions, the merriments and the caresses of domestic life.
William Mountford
Image
It is from out of the depths of our humility that the height of our destiny looks grandest. Let me truly feel that in myself I am nothing, and at once, through every inlet of my soul. God comes in, and is everyone in me.
William Mountford
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Yes, death, the hourly possibility of it, death is the sublimity of life.
William Mountford
Image
... science and speculation pass into mystery at last.
William Mountford
Image
It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
William Mountford
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I do not say the mind gets informed by action, — bodily action but it does get earnestness and strength by it, and that nameless something that gives a man the mastership of his faculties.
William Mountford
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The day of our decease will be that of our coming of age and with our last breath we shall become free of the universe. And in some region of infinity, and from among its splendors, 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
Image
Eternity is the divine treasure-house, and hope is the window, by means of which mortals are permitted to see, as through a glass darkly, the things which God is preparing.
William Mountford
Image
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
Image
The second childhood of a saint is the early infancy of a happy immortality, as we believe.

God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.
