Quotes about God

This is God's universe; we just live in it. He doesn't owe us anything. We owe him everything. What did you make? Nothing. He made everything. For everything you have, you owe him.

But just as your body needs sleep, your soul needs time to rest in God. To learn more about Him. To talk to Him. To worship and praise Him. To fellowship with other brothers and sisters.

If God has done what you think he should do, trust him. If God doesn't do what you think he should do, trust him. If you pray and believe God for a miracle and he does it, trust him. If your worst nightmare comes true, believe he is sovereign. Believe he is good.

Rather than experiencing the richness of a dynamic, intimate relationship with the righteous One, you put God in a little box that you can check off your to-do list each week. By settling for rules and religion and feeling pretty good about how much you're doing for the church and those less fortunate, you become blinded to legalism and self-righteousness.

We're not changed by the promises we make to God; we're changed by believing the promises God makes to us.

The best thing you can do for your kids is to show them God working in you on a daily basis.

Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. St. Augustine

If you allow your enemy to steal your faith, he can destroy your life and ultimately kill your relationship with God.

Will we trust that God is good even when life is not? Our response to pain and challenges determines so much about our future. If we decide to trust, we will grow in our faith, deepen in our intimacy with God, and be conformed to the image of Christ. But if we allow our hearts to drift, we'll wake up one day drowning in doubts, buried in burdens, and feeling far from the only one who can help us heal.

When you feel this burden, you might be frustrated, wondering why no one else cares as much as you do. The reason why you care and others don't could be because God has aimed it directly at you.

You have enough time to do everything God wants you to do.

In fact, if our kids are successful in every normal way, they can still miss God's main mark.
