I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
C. S. Lewis
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Luke 18:27
The New International Version
Work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald

Nature imitates itself. A grain thrown into good ground brings forth fruit; a principle thrown into a good mind brings forth fruit. Everything is created and conducted by the same Master: the root, the branch, the fruits—the principles, the consequences.
Blaise Pascal
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

We feel and weigh soon enough what we suffer from others; but how much others suffer from us, of this we take no heed.
Thomas Kempis
Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord. “No, I am far away at the same time. Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
The New Living Translation
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
Robert Louis Stevenson

One knows God, not so much through reason, nor even through the heart, but through one’s feeling of complete dependence on Him, akin to the feeling experienced by an unweaned child in the arms of its mother. It does not know who holds it, warms it, feeds it; but it knows that there is this someone; and more than merely knows, — it loves that being.
Leo Tolstoy
Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught because of what my enemy is saying, because of the threats of the wicked; for they bring down suffering on me and assail me in their anger.
Psalm 55:1-3

Only eternity will show how our fainthearted prayers changed the destinies of people on our prayer list.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 7:1-3

A little love can change a life.

True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.

But thou art a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love,
Nehemiah 9:17
The Revised Standard Version
There was a hemlock tree on the west side of the property. That was the tree I used to climb. The neighbors used to call Mother: “Kit! Kathy is in the top of the hemlock!” “Yes, I know. Don’t scare her. She doesn’t know that it’s dangerous.”

I am astonished at her, my good mother. She has called me to her sickbed, not so much to help her as to help me. I, in childhood, was never hungry, never homeless, never seriously ill; and was never exposed to the sight of physical suffering. My parents had made sure of all that. But an easy ride of a life is only a half-truth. Now Mama’s gift is to let me know her pain.
Lois Lyles
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Prayer is a path where there is none.
Noah Benshea
No one will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not abandon you or fail to help you.
Joshua 1:5

The dawn announces a new day. It waits to hear what God will say.

We’d all like to feel self-reliant and capable of coping with whatever adversity comes our way, but that’s not how most human beings are made. It’s my belief that the capacity to accept help is inseparable from the capacity to give help when our turn comes to be strong.
Fred Rogers
Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.

God’s love had no strings, no expectations, no hidden agendas, no secrets. His love for us was, and is, upfront and clear.
Max Lucado
Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
The New King James Version
The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger tips it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm. Others there are whose hands have sunbeams in them.
