You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
– GK Chesterton –
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do.
– DL Moody –
Was there anything Jesus wanted from this earth besides you and me? … NOTHING.
– Zac Poonen –
Forgiveness is the key which unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. The forgiveness of Jesus not only takes away our sins, it makes them as if they had never been.
– Corrie ten Boom –
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
– Jim Elliot –
Think what it is we really posses, if Christ is in us . . . We have Him, in whom all fullness of life actually dwells, in whom infinite resources are stored up for our use. Everything needed for continual growth, for perpetual freshness, and for abundant fruitfulness are found in Him. All power, all grace, all purity, and all fullness, absolutely everything to make all grace abound toward us, in us, and through us, are stored up in Him who verily dwells within us.
– Evan Hopkins –
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every moment you believe to be the will of God.
We are to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect, not by struggle and effort, but by the impartation of that which is perfect.
– Oswald Chambers –
Have courage then: make a virtue of necessity: ask of God, not deliverance from your pains, but strength to bear resolutely, for the love of Him, all that He should please, and as long as He shall please.
– Brother Lawrence –
