God Quotes
-
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle -
God unleashes history in the beginning. God helps the baby to stand in the beginning. But God is also out ahead, calling history homeward across the field or across the room. God doesn't force it. Sometimes history responds, or some parts of history respond, but others resist or rebel. But God keeps calling.
Brian D. McLaren
-
God has not revealed all things to man and has entrusted us with but a fragment of His mighty work. But He who directs all things, who has established and laid the foundation of the world, who has clothed Himself with Creation, He is greater and better than that which He has wrought. Hidden from our eyes, He can only be reached by the spirit.
Seneca the Younger -
What a vast difference there is between knowing God and loving Him.
Blaise Pascal -
... let everyone regard himself as the steward of God in all things which he possesses.
John Calvin -
I once heard somebody say that God had closed a door on an opportunity they had hoped for. But I've always wondered if when we want to do something that we know is right and good, God places that desire deep in our hearts because He wants it for us and it honors Him. Maybe there are times when we think a door has been closed and, instead of misinterpreting the circumstances, God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.
Bob Goff -
The effort to untangle the human words from the divine seems not only futile to me but also unnecessary, since God works with what is. God uses whatever is usable in a life, both to speak and to act, and those who insist on fireworks in the sky may miss the electricity that sparks the human heart.
Barbara Brown Taylor -
In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
O happy life! life hid with Christ in God! So making me At home and by the wayside and abroad, Alone with Thee.
Elizabeth Prentiss -
Joy being of God was a living thing, a fountain not a cistern, one of those divine things that are possessed only as they overflow and flow away, and not easily come by because it must break into human life through the hard crust of sin and contingency. Joy came now here, now there, was held and escaped.
Elizabeth Goudge -
Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
Ansel Adams -
There is One Infinite Mind which of necessity includes all that is, whether it be the intelligence in man, the life in the animal, or the invisible Presence which is God.
Ernest Holmes -
A womb is maybe the most oft-overlooked picture of God’s heart that there is.
Audrey Assad -
It is blasphemy if you pray before God while you are full of anger.
Ephrem the Syrian
-
God has not called you to be anyone else’s imitation.
Brian Houston -
I can't bring myself to believe in a God with a personality like my own. I base that on the paucity of lightning attacks on people who deserve it.
Scott Adams -
Man can't do without God. Just like you're thirsty, you have to drink water. You just can't go without God.
Bob Marley -
The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!
Erwin W. Lutzer -
Neither physical science nor psychology can ever 'explain' human consciousness. To me then, human consciousness lies outside science, and it is here that I seek the relationship between God and man.
Nevill Francis Mott -
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave The Birthday Party
-
There Adam slept, and God formed the body of woman from one of his ribs, signifying that she should stand at his side as a companion and never lie at his feet like a slave, and also that he should love her as his own flesh.
Christine de Pizan -
God cares about every area of our lives, and God wants us to ask for help.
Benjamin Carson -
Your thoughts of God are too human.
Martin Luther -
I've learned that God sometimes allows us to find ourselves in a place where we want something so bad that we can't see past it. Sometimes we can't even see God because of it. When we want something that bad, it's easy to mistake what we truly need for the thing we really want. When this sort of thing happens, and it seems to happen to everyone, I've found it's because what God has for us is obscured from view, just around another bend in the road.
