God Quotes

Our relationships with God go through similar phases sometimes. We aren’t comfortable with each other. The conversation doesn’t flow as well. We aren’t sure we can trust as before — or we aren’t sure we can be trusted as before. At those tough times, I have learned that there is a lot to be said for just hanging in there. For keeping on going to church. For saying your prayers. For keeping the communication lines open. For sustaining your relationship on pure, stubborn commitment when all the warm feelings of affection seem gone forever. That kind of willpower, I am learning, is one of the purest forms of faith — a kind of faith you just don’t develop until you are forced to, when your relationship with God seems to have gone bad. Sometimes faith means believing that doubt is just a stage, a rotten mood that will pass, and that in time, by the grace of God, you will get over it, and be old friends again in a new, deeper way.

Our objections - whether they be theological or psychological - usually have but one root: It is pride that makes us reject the message of repentance.
For repentance means humbling ourselves before God and man, changing our ways and making amends. In doing so, we admit that our former ways were wrong, and that is humbling.
No other sin is so firmly ingrained in our hears as pride, especially in the hearts of those who acknowledge Jesus as their Savior.
Basilea Schlink

Why should the soul ever repose? God, its Principle, reposes never.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

"In each of our lives Jesus comes as the Bread of Life - to be eaten, to be consumed by us. This is how He loves us. Then Jesus comes in our human life as the hungry one, the other, hoping to be fed with the Bread of our life, our hearts by loving, and our hands by serving. In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God. This is what Jesus meant when He said, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Mother Teresa
-
Out of love, God becomes man. He says: 'See, here is what it is to be a human being'.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
The more I contemplate God, the more God looks on me. The more I pray to him, the more he thinks of me too.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
God does not think; he creates. He does not exist; he is eternal.
Soren Kierkegaard

Letting ourselves be loved by God is more important than loving God.
