It is a law of the spiritual life that every act of trust makes the next act less difficult. Trusting becomes like breathing, the natural subconsciousness of the redeemed soul.

Bernard of Clairvaux

It's always true to some extent that we make our images of God. It is even truer that our image of God makes us. Eventually, we become like the god we image. One of the most beautiful fruits of knowing the God of Jesus is a compassionate attitude towards ourselves. Healing our image of God heals our image of ourselves.

William Temple

No one who is not a Christian in spirit can perform the Christian act; and the Sermon on the Mount is not a code of rules to be mechanically followed; it is the description of the life which any man will spontaneously lead when once the Spirit of Christ has taken complete possession of his heart. 

Sadhu Sundar Singh

Admonished for his lack of familiarity with twentieth-century science, Sundar Singh said, "What is science?" "Natural selection and survival of the fittest," he was told. "Ah," Sundar Singh replied, "but I am more interested in divine selection and the survival of the unfit.

The grass isn't greener on the other side - it's greener on the side you water.

Brian Hardin

We won't get far in life without wisdom and common sense. And we see that both are gifts of God and that God Himself uses them. Yet so often, we find ourselves doing anything but listening. Wisdom is available and calling to us from everywhere. (Proverbs 1:20-21) But often, we're either not paying attention or ignoring her in favour of our ill-considered choices. However, wisdom is a companion of God, and he has offered this companion to us. It is worth our time to consider the ways in which we continue to ignore her.

Henry Beecher Ward

Never forget what a man has said to you when he was angry.  

T J Green

As a follower of Christ I herald a message of Good News instead of bad news. I preach more about heaven then hell. I'm more about constructing then I am deconstructing. I'm more about encouraging then I am about discouraging. I am more about advocating that protesting. I'm more pro then I am anti. Following the pattern of Jesus... He submitted to death to bring life. He conquered hearts by washing feet. He forgave His murderers and loved His enemies.

Just as torches burn most brightly when swung to and fro; just as the juniper plant smells sweetest when flung into the flames; so the richest qualities of a Christian often come out under the north wind of adversity and suffering. Bruised hearts often emit the fragrance God loves to smell.
