 The books of Nature and of Revelation equally elevate our conceptions and invite our piety; they are both written by the finger of the one eternal, incomprehensible God. Author: Thomas Watson |
| Doth God give us a Christ, and will he deny us a crust? If God doth not give us what we crave, He will give us what we need. Author: Thomas Watson |
| He who sends the storm steers the vessel. Author: Thomas Adams |
| Just remaining quietly in the presence of God, listening to Him, being attentive to Him, requires a lot of courage and know-how. Author: Thomas Merton |
| The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth about myself: and if I have been in error, this first step to truth is the discovery of my error. Author: Thomas Merton |
| I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Author: Thomas Merton |

| My life is a mystery which I do not attempt to really understand, as though I were led by the hand in a night where I see nothing, but can fully depend on the love and protection of Him who guides me. Author: Thomas Merton |
| Our knowledge of God is paradoxically not of him as the object of our scrutiny, but of ourselves as utterly dependent on his saving and merciful knowledge of us. It is in proportion, as we are known to him that we find our real being and identity in Christ. We know him in and through ourselves in so far as his truth is the source of our being and his merciful love is the very heart of our life and existence. Author: Thomas Merton |
| When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords. Author: Chuck Swindoll |
| God is pleased with nothing but His Own will. Nothing else can satisfy His heart. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The nature of God's love is unchangeable. Ours alternates all to readily. If it is our habit to love God with our own affection we shall turn cold towards Him whenever we are unhappy. Author: Watchman Nee |
| It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun's withdrawing itself, that makes a dark and gloomy day; but the interposition of clouds and vaporous exhalations. Neither is thy soul beyond the reach of the promise, nor does God withdraw Himself; but the vapours of thy carnal, unbelieving heart do cloud thee. Author: John Owen |
