Quotes

“The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.”

Tim Keller, The Reason for God

“I would rather live my life as if there is a God

and die to find out there isn’t,

than live my life as if there isn’t

and die to find out there is.”

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.” -anonymous

 A great many think because they have been filled once, they are going to be full for all time after; but O my friends, we are leaky vessels and have to be kept right under the fountain all the time in order to keep full. Let us keep near Him.

–D. L. Moody

Quote- from the movie, “Neverwas”

(Spoken by one of the characters, Gabriel Finch)

 

~A truth that’s told with good intent

beats all the lies you can invent

It is right- it should be so

Man was made for joy and woe

 

And when this we rightly know

Through the world we safely go

Joy and woe are woven fine

A clothing for the soul divine~
