"Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that welook upon uncertainty as a bad thing . . . Certainty is the mark of thecommon-sense life; gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we donot know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sighof sadness, it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation."
*My Utmost for His Highest*
"I came to Him because I did not know which way to turn. I have remained with Him because there is no other way I wish to turn. I came to Him longing for something I did not have. I remain with Him because I have something I will not trade. I came to Him as a stranger. I remain with Him in the most intimate of friendships. I came to Him unsure about the future. I remain with Him certain about my destiny. I came amid the thunderous cries of a culture that has one hundred and thirty million deities. I remain with Him knowing that truth cannot be all inclusive. Truth by definition excludes."
*Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods*
"Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things, in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."
*Mother of John Wesley*
"Is there a tribute that I could bring? Was there ever a song to sing that could ever express, my King, the work that you've done? Could I ever conceive of this? All the depths and the heights and the breadth of the riches I now possess because of your love! So I pause at your gate once more as my heart and my spirit soar, and I wish I could love you more, My God and My King." *Robin Mark, 'In the Beauty of Holiness'*
"One with Himself I cannot die; my soul is purchased by His blood. My life is hid with Christ on high; with Christ my Savior and my God. My name is graven on His hands; my name is written on His heart. I know that while in heav'n He stands no tongue can bid me thence depart, my name is written on His heart."
*Before the Throne of God*
"No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me. From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand. 'Til He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand."
*'In Christ Alone'*
"O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, blind my wandring heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seat it; seal it for thy courts above."
*Robert Robinson, 'Come Thou Fount'*
"Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart. Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art - Thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, they presence my light."
*'Be Thou My Vision'*
And by the borders of my day
The river of Thy pleasure flows,
The flowers that blossom by the way
He who loves Thee knows."
*Amy Carmichael*
"if you deliberately choose to obey God, He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist you"
*Oswald Chambers*
"Do I still question God? Do I still have days when lifting my head from the pillow feels like an impossible chore? Absolutely. We're trapped in these bodies and we will deal with these things until we see Him face to face. Until then, we must cling desparately to the One who is crazy about us, to the One who has promised us wholeness, to the One who has promised to never let us go."
*Falling in Love With Jesus*
"Although we don't sin when we look forward to marriage, we might be guilty of poor stewardship of our singleness when we allow a desire for something God obvioiusly doesn't have for us yet to roub our ability to enjoy and appreciate what He has given us...dating causes people to focus on what they don't have."
*I Kissed Dating Goodbye*
"Just as the stars inlluminate the sky, the heart of God has expressed the beauty of love before the beginning of time.
*Michelle Tumes*
"Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have."
*Unknown*
"It's not the number of breaths you take, it's the number of moments that take your breath away."
