One must reach the point of not caring two straws about his own status before he can wish wholly for God’s kingdom, not his own, to be established.
C. S. Lewis
If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.

God forgives—forgives not capriciously, but with wise, definite, divine prearrangement; forgives universally, on the ground of an atonement and on the condition of repentance and faith.
Richard Salter Storrs
My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!
Psalm 31:15-16

God never strikes except for motives of love, and never takes away but in order to give.

If you neglect your love to your neighbor, in vain you profess your love to God; for by your love to God, the love to your neighbor is begotten, and by the love to your neighbor, your love to God is nourished.
Francis Quarles
You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him; because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
Deuteronomy 15:10
The Revised Standard Version
One day a lady criticized D. L. Moody for his methods of evangelism in attempting to win people to the Lord. Moody’s reply was “I agree with you. I don’t like the way I do it either. Tell me, how do you do it?” The lady replied, “I don’t do it.” Moody retorted, “Then I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.”

People like to say that time heals all wounds, and I think that is very nice but not entirely true: time does heal most things to some extent, and love gently tends the parts that still hurt.
Anne Lamott
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
Revelation 3:12

If being a team player requires doing what is wrong, you’re on the wrong team.

I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.
George Whitefield
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:25-28

When men seek to comprehend the power of God, it is like a fly attempting to devour all the mountains.

Every day let us renew the consecration to God’s service. Every day let us, in His strength, pledge ourselves afresh to do His will, even in the veriest trifle, and to turn aside from anything that may displease Him… He does not bid us bear the burdens of tomorrow, next week, or next year. Every day we are to come to Him in simple obedience and faith, asking help to keep us and aid us through that day’s work. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, through years of long tomorrows, it will be but the same thing to do; leaving the future always in God’s hands, sure that He can care for it better than we. Blessed trust! That can thus confidingly say, “This hour is mine with its present duty; the next is God’s, and when it comes, His presence will come with it.”
Unknown
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-19
The Revised Standard Version
Satan, like a fisher, baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish.

We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God. If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear. Let us take breath, and go on afresh.
Francis de Sales
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
Romans 12:9-13
The New Revised Standard Version
Man proposes, but God disposes.

The will of God is never defeated, though much is done that is contrary to His will…Even what is done in opposition to His will does not defeat His will.
Augustine
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.
1 John 4:20-21
The New Living Translation
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.
