Jean-Baptiste de la Salle

The more you abandon to God the care of all temporal things the more He will take care to provide for all your wants. But if on the contrary you try to supply all your needs Providence will allow you to continue to do just that, and then it may very well happen that even necessity will be lacking to you. For God will reprove you for your lack of faith in reliance on self.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In truth he is always with us; for the feast is His, and the hall is His, and every guest is brought in by His grace, and every dish on the table is placed there by His love.

Francis Frangipane

Satan will stop your destiny if you accept the power of disappointment into your life. Disappointment cuts us off from our vision, and without a vision people perish. Therefore, let me ask you: Are you carrying disappointment in your heart? Renounce it. Forgive those who have let you down. Have you personally or morally failed? Repent deeply and return to your Redeemer.

  It's possible to not be okay, and believe Jesus is okay at the same time.

Jeremiah 50:7 says God is the 'Habitation of Justice'. That sums up everything about God's faithfulness in three words. If He is where justice dwells then we need not fear he will deal with us capriciously. Everything He does is honest and true. He never alters His favor or opinion due to a whim or feeling. If God is the habitation of justice, which He is, He will never judge or punish unrighteously. Every decision He makes is 100% perfect and just. Wouldn't it be nice if earthly judges could be right all the time, but even if they can't God can because He is the habitation of justice. He is where justice dwells and I'm so thankful that this One who is 100% true and just, by His love and sacrifice enables me to call Him Savior and Lord!!

The caterpillar, a worm, goes into the cocoon -- a chrysallis, in which the root word, appropriately, is "Christ." And it emerges a butterfly, completely transformed. The old has passed. The new has arrived. It was once weighed down by gravity; now it can fly. Christians are once under the reign of sin, but now we can live in freedom. And you can also see why it's so painful to me that so many Christians don't understand this? When I hear a Christian say, "I'm just a sinner saved by grace," I want to say, "that makes as much as a butterfly saying, "I'm just a worm with wings."

Ignatius

God is often on a different timetable than we are. In fact, He doesn’t even live in time. We have a beginning and an end, but God doesn’t. God lives in eternity, and He is able to see the end from the beginning. When He gives us a word, we cannot assume that its fulfillment will take place within twenty-four hours. For example, Jesus said that He was coming quickly, but two thousand years have passed and we are still waiting. Perceived delay does not mean denial.

  The gift of presence is a rare and beautiful gift. To come - unguarded, undistracted - and be fully present, fully engaged with whoever we are with at that moment.
