“The LORD is wonderfully good to those who wait for Him and seek Him.”
Calvin Miller
“Many Bible passages (such as Luke 13:3 or Acts 2:38) issue a call for repentance. Repentance? The very thought stops our hearts with chilling honesty, for it insists that we come clean before we set out to execute life’s important choices. Repentance demands that we choose a path of holy living.”
Pilpay

Eleanor Roosevelt

“Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.”
Gordon H. Taggart
“I wish I were honest enough to admit all my shortcomings: brilliant enough to accept flattery without it making me arrogant; tall enough to tower above deceit; strong enough to treasure love; brave enough to welcome criticism; compassionate enough to understand human frailties; wise enough to recognize my mistakes; humble enough to appreciate greatness; staunch enough to stand by my friends; human enough to be thoughtful of my neighbor; and righteous enough to be devoted to the love of God.”
Mother Teresa
“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”
“Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.” Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”
“Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts. It cost
Jesus to love us. He even died for us. Now it is our turn to love one
another as Jesus loved us. You must not be afraid to say “yes” to
Jesus, because there is no greater love than his love and no greater joy than his joy.”
“The poor call to us. We have to be aware of them in order to love
them. We have to ask ourselves if we know the truth. Do we know
the poor in our own homes?”
Henry David Thoreau
“Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.”
Mark Twain
“The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.”
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
Rick Warren
“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it. God’s purpose is not limited by your past. He turned a murderer named Moses into a leader and a coward named Gideon into a courageous hero, and he can do amazing things with the rest of your life, too. God specializes in giving people a fresh start.”
“You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. … Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you!”
Thomas Watson
“Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.”
John Wesley
“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
“I have seen (as far as it can be seen) many persons changed in a moment from the spirit of horror, fear, and despair to the spirit of hope, joy, peace; and from sinful desires, till then reigning over them, to a pure desire of doing the will of God.”
Mother Teresa
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
BE KIND ANYWAY.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
BE SUCCESSFUL ANYWAY.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
BUILD ANYWAY.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
The good you do today, people will often forget anyway;
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY.
