God our Father has made all things depend on faith so that whoever has faith will have everything, and whoever does not have faith will have nothing.
Martin Luther
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:12
The King James Version
It is thy duty oftentimes to do what thou wouldst not, thy duty, too, to leave undone what thou wouldst do.
Thomas à Kempis

Cheered by the presence of God, I will do at each moment, without anxiety, according to the strength which He shall give me, the work that His Providence assigns me. I will leave the rest without concern; it is not my affair. I ought to consider the duty to which I am called each day, as the work that God has given me to do, and to apply myself to it in a manner worthy of His glory, that is to say, with exactness and in peace. I must neglect nothing; I must be violent about nothing.
François Fénelon
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs 1:33
The King James Version
This world is our passage not our portion.

The great source of error in religious matters is that men do not fully and honestly take the Word of God as their rule and standard.
William Cunningham
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.
1 Peter 3:8-9
The New Living Translation
After the satisfactory discharge of his parish duties, a minister may enjoy five days in a week of uninterrupted leisure for the prosecution of any science.
Thomas Chalmers, when Church of Scotland minister of Kilmany, Fife
I had forgot two magnitudes: I thought not of the littleness of time; I recklessly thought not of the greatness of eternity.
Years later, in a debate in the General Assembly he confessed his error with those earlier words.

God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
Dag Hammarskjöld
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
Proverbs 29:25
The King James Version
Mother Teresa loved to laugh, most often at herself. She knew the importance of laughter in the midst of suffering.

As Satan labours to loosen our faith, so must we labour to fasten it, by thinking on the promises and covenant of God in Christ’s blood.
John Bradford
“For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.”
Deuteronomy 10:17-19
The New Living Translation
A holy life is not an ascetic, or gloomy or solitary life, but a life regulated by divine truth and faithful in Christian duty. It is living above the world while we are still in it.
Tryon Edwards

My shallow and ebb thoughts are not the compass that my Lord saileth by. I leave His ways to Himself, for they are far, far, above me.
Samuel Rutherford
But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
Romans 10:8-10
The New Revised Standard Version
Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.
Benjamin Franklin

If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate; and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.
Oswald Chambers
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
Matthew 25:40
The New International Version
God daily asks: Just take one small step toward me and I will meet you there where you are. No matter how far you have strayed.

The mercy by which God freely delivers, and the truth by which He righteously judges, are equally unsearchable.
Augustine
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!
Psalm 97:1
The English Standard Version
Faith is like the little night-light that burns in a sickroom; as long as it is there, the obscurity is not complete, we turn toward it and await the daylight.
Abbe Huvelin

The main theme of the Bible is the covenant-relationship between God and man.
R. V. G. Tasker
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:15-17
The New King James Version
Without an end or bound
Thy life lives all outspread in light;
Our lives feel Thy life all around,
Making our weakness strong, our darkness bright;
Yet is it neither wilderness nor sea,
But the calm gladness of a full eternity.
F. W. Faber

To be converted is to transfer our life’s centre of gravity from ourselves to God, to free ourselves from ourselves, to break with our self-sufficient and selfish nature, and to seek our supreme satisfaction not in ourselves but in him.
Christoph Luthardt
Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Isaiah 56:1-2
The Revised Standard Version
Afflictions are the steps to heaven.
