Great Quotes: Jesus—Ever Near, Forever Glorious
Jesus, ever near me, ever looking on; seeing my intentions before He beholds my failures; knowing my desires before He sees my faults; cheering me to endeavor greater things, and yet accepting the least; inviting my poor service, and yet, above all, content with my poorer love. The humblest and the simplest, the weakest and the most encumbered, may love Him not less than the busiest and strongest, the most gifted and laborious. If our heart be clear before Him; if He be to our chief and sovereign choice, dear above all, and beyond all desired; then all else matters little. That which concerns us He will perfect in stillness and in power. –H.E. Manning
What is highest in this world is lowest in the other, and what is highest in that world is lowest in this. Gold is on top here; they pave the streets with it there. To serve is looked upon as ignoble here; there those that serve reign and the last are first. I never saw a girl unwilling to fling away paste diamonds when she could have real stones, and when a man understands what God can be to the soul, he is independent of things he used to care for most. – F.B. Meyer
The revelation of that on my heart is causing a growing freedom that is so potent, it's power so addictive. Never could I have anticipated His effect on me.
Quotes well stated and well worth the repeating.
