“If we hear, in our inner ear, a voice saying we are failures, we are losers, we will never amount to anything, this is the voice of Satan trying to convince the bride that the groom does not love her. This is not the voice of God. God woos us with kindness. He changes out of character with the passion of his love.”
― Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“What happens when we acknowledge the sovereignty and power of God without trusting in His goodness and faithfulness? A pitcher who saw God's power behind his extremely unlikely rise to the big leagues wondered if, at any difficulty he encountered there, God might be taking his ability away.”

“TRUTH


Whenever you stand up
For your conscience,
Be prepared to be hated
By the wicked.
But never, ever,
Let that scare you;
For whenever you
Stand up for God,
By him,
You are loved.”

“It is staggering that God should live sinners; yet it is true. God loves creatures who have become unlovely and (one would have thought) unlovable.

Love among persons is awakened by something in the beloved, but the love of God is free, spontaneous, unevoked, uncashed.”
― J. I. Packer

The person is on the look but the person, of himself, has no evidence,
The person has the names of his stay earlier with the province,
The person is known for making dead places alive he is a good tenant,
The person shares everything that he has who allows him to reside including knowledge, wisdom & experience,
The person is, the person of God, looking out for the HEARTS to stay if you are vacant!”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

“Some lay the blame on their own stupidity. Their minds are blunt and dull. They cannot catch God's meaning, which would be clear to others. â€� Believe in the great love of God, and cast yourselves upon it, sure that He will come down to your ignorance, and suit Himself to your needs, and will “gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall *gently lead* those that are with youngâ€� [Isaiah 40:11].”
― F.B. Meyer, The Secret of Guidance

“[T]hose who need mercy most are those who deserve it least. And â€� even our enemies are so valuable to God that He sent Christ to die for them. Yet, how often do we focus on stopping them for our sakes rather than their own? How often to we pray *about* them instead of *for* them?”
