Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is the you shall have everlasting life.
– Corrie ten Boom –
To deliberately seek or glorify any form of guidance is an outright invitation to spiritual deception, we are not to seek or specify how God should speak, but only seek Him in any way that He wishes to make Himself known.
– Winkie Pratney –
God is not a deceiver, that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.
– Augustine –
Be thankful. God has commanded it—for our good and for His glory. God’s command to be thankful is not the threatening demand of a tyrant. Rather, it is the invitation of a lifetime—the opportunity to draw near to Him at any moment of the day.
– Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth –
God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.
– Hudson Taylor –
Edwards [Jonathan Edwards] calls the deeper, primary form of thankfulness “gracious gratitude.” It gives thanks not for goods received, but for who God is: for His character—His goodness, love, power, excellencies—regardless of favors received. And it’s real evidence of the Holy Spirit working in a person’s life.
– Chuck Colson –
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
– John Piper –
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that, I still possess.
– Corrie ten Boom –
This way of seeing our Father in everything makes life one long thanksgiving and gives a rest of heart, and, more than that, a gayety of spirit, that is unspeakable.
