God
is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find
rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest
notions of what He is up to. - Elisabeth Elliot
Much of our difficulty
as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take
God as He is and
adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him
nearer to our own image. - A. W. Tozer
If thou desirest to be safe, turn at once in thy emptiness to God. If thou hast
been inconsistent, how canst thou better become consistent again than in God
only? How canst thou better escape death than by the true, real Life -- which is
God Himself? - Johannes Tauler
The appearance of God is ineffable and indescribable, and cannot be seen by eyes
of flesh. For in glory He is incomprehensible, in greatness unfathomable, in
height inconceivable, in power incomparable, in wisdom unrivalled, in goodness
inimitable, in kindness unutterable. For if I say He is Light, I name but His
own work; if I call Him Word, I name but His sovereignty; if I call Him Mind, I
speak but of His wisdom; if I say He is Spirit, I speak of His breath; if I call
Him Wisdom, I speak of His offspring; if I call Him Strength. - Theophilus of
Antioch
He
who loveth God with all his heart feareth not death, nor punishment, nor
judgment, nor hell, because perfect love giveth sure access to God. But he who
still delighteth in sin, no marvel if he is afraid of death and judgment.
- Thomas à Kempis
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm
over us, His ear open to our prayer -- His grace sufficient, His promises
unchangeable. - John Newton
Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will, or rather our own will is
our separation from God. - William Law
A man can no more
diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the
sun by scribbling 'darkness' on the wall of his cell. - C. S. Lewis
