Everything in the Bible points to eternity and everything in us cries out for it. God’s work for us will not be completed in this life.
Ray Stedman
Right to live – that should be our great and luminous masterpiece! All other things like dolling, hoarding and building houses are at most appendiges and ancides.
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
Jesus invites us to come to rest with him, and humility is the way he does.
A humble person does not care if someone is bigger than him, because he decided a long time ago that the appreciation of this world is not worth the effort.
A. W. Tozer
God shapes your heart ...
... but not in any abstract way.
He prefers it concrete, and that means that by the end of your life three things will happen to your heart:
It hardens, it breaks or it becomes gentle.
No one can escape it.
Ravi Zacharias
All things, big and small
Liquid, dry, soft and hard,
Animals, plants, wood and stones
Show God’s presence.
Barthold Heinrich Brockes
1680 - 1747
