Great Quotes

Let me learn—
That the way down is the way up,
That to be low is to be high,
That the broken heart is the healed heart,
That the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,
That the repenting soul is the victorious soul,
That to have nothing is to possess all,
That to bear the cross is to wear the crown,
That to give is to receive,
That the valley is the place of vision.
-Puritan Prayer

More is being planned for by God than had been prayed for by us.
-S.D. Gordon

If all my members are really at His disposal, why should I be put out if today’s appointment is some simple work for my hands or errands for my feet, instead of some seemingly more important doing of head or tongue?
-F.R. Havergal

Whatever He wills becomes great to us, however seemingly trifling…we have no right to measure its importance. On the other hand, whatever He would not have us do, however important we may think it, is as nought to us. How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring?
-Jean Nicolas Grou

I love this quote. What richness to know that God isn't limited to answer to just what we pray but God has so much more for each of us. More to walk in, more to receive of Him, more to be blessed in, and more of Him to be lived out through our own lives. Thanks for the reminder. As I look at some of the "new" things God is doing in my life this adds some extra cream on top.
