Forgiveness is God’s command.
Martin Luther
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me. Selah
Psalm 49:15
The New King James Version
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Blaise Pascal

A man can no more be a Christian without facing evil and conquering it, than he can be a soldier without going to battle, facing the cannon’s mouth, and encountering the enemy in the field.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
Proverbs 13:1
The King James Version
Earth, with her thousand voices, praises God.

The only way to realize that we are God’s children is to let Christ lead us to our Father.
Philips Brooks
The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?”
Jeremiah 32:26-27
The English Standard Version
Life itself, every bit of health that we enjoy, every hour of liberty and free enjoyment, the ability to see, to hear, to speak, to think, and to imagine—all this comes from the hand of God. We show our gratitude by giving back to Him a part of that which He has given to us.

I cannot too greatly emphasize the importance and value of Bible study—more important than ever before in these days of uncertainties, when men and women are apt to decide questions from the standpoint of expediency rather than on the eternal principles laid down by God, Himself.
John Wanamaker
Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
John 6:16-21
The New King James Version
The roads are rugged, the precipices are steep; there may be a feeling of dizziness on the heights, gusts of wind, peals of thunder, nights of awful gloom—fear them not. There are also the joys of the sunlight, flowers such as are not in the plain, the purest of air, restful nooks; and the stars smile thence like the eyes of God.
Henri Didon

The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
Augustine
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Psalm 143:1
The King James Version
It was the day before Thanksgiving in 1949. I was 5 years old and waiting near the lunchroom building at the school where my father was a teacher and administrator in Garden City, Texas. Though not a student yet, I had walked the short distance from home to share the traditional Thanksgiving school lunch with Dad. As I grasped the quarter that Mother had given me to pay for the meal, the wind carried the smell of turkey and all the trimmings. A few feet away on the lunchroom steps sat two schoolboys not much bigger than me. The younger one began to pull a sandwich wrapped in wax paper from a much-used brown paper bag. His older brother, probably 8, motioned with his eyes for the sandwich to go back into the bag for the moment. I could see that they were waiting for me to pass into the building where all the other kids were laughing and eating. The door of the nearby administration building opened, and Dad walked our way. As he approached, calling my name, the two boys looked at their feet. Dad stopped with his hand on my shoulder. The expression on his face softened. He dug into his trouser pockets and found two shiny quarters. He called the boys by name and said, “We will all eat turkey and dressing today.” He gently pressed a quarter into each of their hands and opened the lunchroom door. On that day compassion was given and received. I saw it in the eyes of those two boys. It was a lesson I’ve never forgotten.

Clouds of doubt are created when the warm, moist air of our expectations meets the cold air of God’s silence. The problem is not as much in God’s silence as it is in your ability to hear.
Max Lucado
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain salvation upon you.
Hosea 10:12

Everyone is gifted, but some open the package sooner.

Education and scholarship may enable a man to put things well, but they will never give him insight. Insight comes only from a pureheartedness in working out the will of God.
Oswald Chambers
Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
Mark 10:13-16
The New King James Version
Joy is distinctly a Christian word and a Christian thing. It is the reverse of happiness. Happiness is the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy has its springs deep down inside. And that spring never runs dry, no matter what happens. Only Jesus gives that joy. He had joy, singing its music within, even under the shadow of the cross. It is an unknown word and thing except as He has sway within.

The greatest saint in the world is not he who prays most or fasts most; it is not he who gives alms, or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice. It is he who is most thankful to God.
William Law
It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:5

So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.
Judges 5:31
The King James Version
There is a language in nature that speaks of the existence of God. It is the language of order, beauty, perfection, and intelligence.
