Not much evil is done by evil people. Most of the evil is done by good people, who do not know that they are not good.
Reinhold Niebuhr
For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns.
Thomas Brooks

The name of Jesus is a never-failing passport to our prayers. In that name a man may draw near to God with boldness, and ask with confidence. God has engaged to hear him.
J. C. Ryle
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”

The Revised Standard Version
You don’t need to know where you’re going…as long as you know the One who does.

God knows best what cross we need to bear, and we never know how heavy someone else’s cross may be. We envy someone who is rich, with a cross of gold, adorned with jewels, but we do not know how heavy it is. We look at someone whose life seems so easy and who carries a cross covered with flowers. Yet if we could actually test all the crosses we think are lighter than ours, we would never find one better suited for us than our own.
J. R. Miller
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

If you want to get warm you just stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.
C. S. Lewis
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
Exodus 32:16
The English Standard Version
Many books can inform, but only one will transform.

Only when grief finds its work done can God dispense us from it.
Henri-Frederic Amiel
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
The King James Version
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
James Montgomery

If you aspire to be a person of consolation…to share the priestly gift of sympathy…to go beyond giving commonplace comfort to a heart that is tempted, and if you long to go through life with the kind of tact that never inflicts pain, then you must be prepared to pay the price for a costly education—for like Christ, you must suffer.
Frederick William Robertson
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

The highest and most satisfactory expression which the New Testament reaches for the true understanding of Jesus is to call him the Word of God: he is God’s means of communication with the world, God’s rational address to mankind.
Alan Richardson
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
Lamentations 3:22
The Revised Standard Version
We are all strings in the concert of his joy.

Never listen to accounts of the frailties of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak of him at all.
John of the Cross

Prayer should never be regarded as a science or reduced to a system—that ruins it, because it is essentially a living and personal relationship, which tends to become more personal and also more simple, as one goes on.
Evelyn Underhill
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
The English Standard Version
Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful.
