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.

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

He does not need to transplant us into a different field, but we should grow right where we are, with just the circumstances that surround us. He makes His sun to shine and His dew to fall upon us, and transforms the very things that before were our greatest hindrances, into the chiefest and most blessed means of our growth. No difficulties in your case can baffle Him. No dwarfing of your growth in years that are past, no apparent dryness of your inward springs of life, no crookedness or deformity in any of your past development, can in the least mar the perfect work that He will accomplish. Put yourselves absolutely into His hands, and let Him have His own way with you.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
Ephesians 6:7
The New International Version
Prayer is the sum of our relationship with God. We are what we pray. The degree of our faith is the degree of our prayer. Our ability to love is our ability to pray.

You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can even prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.

If heaven be such a blessed world, then let this be our chosen country, and the inheritance we seek.
Jonathan Edwards
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Matthew 6:25
The King James Version
I choose gentleness…nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

The Holy Spirit not only originates faith, but increases it by degrees, till He conducts us by it all the way to the heavenly kingdom.

As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,”

How does our will become sanctified? By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God. We will all that He wills, and will nothing that He does not will; we attach our feeble will to that all-powerful will which performs everything. Thus, nothing can ever come to pass against this will; for nothing can happen save that which God wills, and we find in His good pleasure an inexhaustible source of peace and consolation.
François Fénelon
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
Ecclesiastes 9:10
The King James Version
In the name of Jesus Christ who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all eternity before us, make us take time to live—time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessing, and time to know each other.

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

There is a City of God, and its Founder has inspired us with a love which makes us covet its citizenship.
Augustine
The Lord preserves the faithful
Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version
If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

Happy is the sadness of the faithful, which has such joy with it, and unhappy is the joy of unbelievers, which has such sadness with it.
