Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note—torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
Henry Ward Beecher
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
The English Standard Version
God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with.

It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun’s withdrawing itself, that makes a dark and gloomy day; but the interposition of clouds and vaporous exhalations. Neither is thy soul beyond the reach of the promise, nor does God withdraw Himself; but the vapors of thy carnal, unbelieving heart do cloud thee.
John Owen
Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psalm 100:3
The New King James Version
The hungry need bread and the homeless need a roof; the dispossessed need justice and the lonely need fellowship; the undisciplined need order and the slaves need freedom. To allow the hungry to remain hungry would be blasphemy against God and one’s neighbor, for what is nearest to God is precisely the need of one’s neighbor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Our physical demand is great. We need a healthy body. We dealt so much in soulfulness, we forgot the holiness of the body. We neglected physical health and strength; we forgot that we have holy flesh, no less than holy spirit.
Abraham Isaac Kook
Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
John 16:32
The English Standard Version
God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.

We have lost the art of worship. We are not producing saints. Our models are successful businessmen, celebrated athletes, and theatrical personalities. We carry on our religious activities after the methods of the modern advertisers. Our homes have been turned into theatres, our literature is shallow, our hymns border on sacrilege and scarcely anyone seems to care. Christianity is little more than objective truth, sweetened with song and made palatable through religious entertainment. Christ calls men to carry a cross, but we call them to have fun in His name.
A. W. Tozer
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1

To be far from God is better than to be near, if we are not next to God.

The Christian life could be described as getting to know God better every day. A friendship which does not grow closer with the years tends to vanish with the years. And it is so with us and God.
William Barclay
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
Proverbs 8:14

The “living Bible” people really read, is you.

Give all to God, take all from God, and use all for God.
F. B. Meyer
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
Psalm 111:10
The Revised Standard Version
(Written about AD 130, this is one of the earliest descriptions of Christians.)
They dwell in their own countries but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do others; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring. They have a common table but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on the earth, but are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws in their lives. They love all, and are persecuted by all. They are poor, yet they make many rich; they are completely destitute, and yet they enjoy complete abundance. They are reviled, and yet they bless. When they do good they are punished as evildoers; undergoing punishment, they rejoice because they are brought to life.
Epistle to Diognetus, author unknown

There is in man a higher than love of happiness; he can do without happiness, and instead thereof find blessedness!
Thomas Carlyle
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
Proverbs 27:10
The King James Version
The Christian who is truly spiritual revels as much in his ignorance of God as in his knowledge of him.

Rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, “Be silent in God, and let Him mould thee.” Keep still, and He will mould thee to the right shape.
Martin Luther
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
The New American Standard Bible
To feel sorry for the needy is not the mark of a Christian—to help them is.

Happiness is living by inner purpose, not by outer pressures. Happiness is a happening-with-God.
David Augsburger
“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever. Take heed now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”
1 Chronicles 28:9-10
The Revised Standard Version
How goodness heightens beauty!
