A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
~ William Blake
Reflect, Resonate, Reevaluate, Respond
Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure; Where your treasure is, there is your heart; Where your heart is, there is your happiness.
~ Augustine of Hippo
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
~ Thornton Wilder, 1897-1975, playwright and novelist
For some, faith begins with a hard shell, a rigid set of answers and platitudes that keep them safe but eventually prevent them from growing into who they could be. The system that was initially protecting them now traps them.
~ Luke Norsworthy, Pastor and writer of God over Good
One of the reasons why I think Christians get tired of hearing about the law is because they never hear why they should obey the law.
~ Kevin DeYoung, taken from The Hole in Our Holiness
Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.
~ William Law, 1686-1761, Clergy within Church of England
We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.
~ A. W. Tozer, 1897-1963, The Knowledge of the Holy
Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour … If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?
~ Charlotte Brontë, 1816-1855, author of Jane Eyre
