 The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers. Author: A.W. Tozer |
| Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof. Author: Richard Sibbes

| A Christian may for many days together see neither sun nor star, neither light in God's countenance, nor light in his own heart, though even at that time God darts some beams through those clouds upon the soul; the soul again by a spirit of faith sees some light through those thickest clouds, enough to keep it from utter despair, though not to settle it in peace. In this dark condition, if they do as Paul and his company did, cast an anchor even in the dark night of temptation, and pray still for day, God will appear, and all shall clear up, we shall see light without and light within; the day-star will arise in their hearts.

| The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness. Author: Robert Murray McCheyne

| When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ. Author: Robert Murray McCheyne |
| A beam of God's countenance is enough to fill the heart of a believer to overflowing. It is enough to light up the pale cheek of a dying saint with seraphic brightness, and make the heart of the lone widow sing for joy. Author: Robert Murray McCheyne |

| Imperfection is the prerequisite for grace. Light only gets in through the cracks. Author: Philip Yancey

| To stand before the Holy One of eternity is to change. Resentments cannot be held with the same tenacity when we enter his gracious light. Author: Richard J. Foster |
| There will be no retreat in those who walk in the true light. When you open your shades at night, darkness does not come in and flood the room. Rather the light shines out into the darkness because light is stronger than darkness. The darker it becomes, the brighter our light will be. Where sin abounds, grace will that much more abound. Author: Rick Joyner |
| Those who determine not to put self to death will never see the will of God fulfilled in their lives. Those who ought to become the light of the world must necessarily burn and become less and less. By dening self, we are able to win others. Author: Sadhu Sundar Singh |
| Glory in Christ and you can bask in His light forever. Author: Woodrow Kroll |
| While we cannot know a person's heart, we can see his light. Allowing sin to go unconfessed can dim God's light and hinder the effectiveness of a life's testimony. Author: Paul Chappell |
