Broken I run to you for your arms are open wide. I am weary but I know your touch restores my life.
Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
Jesus understands our weaknesses and sins; and he forgives us if we allow ourselves to be forgiven.
If you have the smile of God what does it matter if you have the frown of men?
We should let God be the One to praise us and not praise ourselves. For God detests those who commend themselves. Let others applaud our good deeds.
The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the undeniables of life, don't cover them with a blanket, or ignore them with a nervous grin. Don't turn up the TV and pretend they aren't there. Instead, stand still, whisper his name, and listen. He is nearer than you think.
Leading with integrity is embracing honesty! We should always use our weaknesses to point others to Christ's strength.
Sometimes new opportunity means new opposition. Not everything God asks us to do will be comfortable.
So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become.
When he says we’re forgiven, let’s unload the guilt. When he says we’re valuable, let’s believe him. . . . When he says we’re provided for, let’s stop worrying. God’s efforts are strongest when our efforts are useless
We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this Gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul.
Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.
Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.
It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble, acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence.
May I always hear that you are following the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth, leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extended to deliver you, trusting only in the only Savior, and going on in your way to Him rejoicing.
Christianity does not begin with our pursuit of Christ, but with Christ’s pursuit of us.
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Don't worry about having the right words; worry more about having the right heart. It's not eloquence he seeks, just honesty.
God gave me emotions so I could experience life, not destroy it
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
