"The great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not."
-C.S. Lewis
"A crushing hurt comes to our heart and the sympathizing, scarred hand of Christ presses the wound; and just for a moment, the pain seems to intensify ..... but finally the bleeding stops."
-Beth Moore
"The essence of Christianity is not about religion at all, but about the person of Christ. Religion is a dead, man-made thing, and at the heart of Christianity is something else entirely - God, Himself, alive."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"But why, if the answer to prayer is so positively promised, why are there such numberless prayers? We found that Christ taught us that the answer depended upon certain conditions. He spoke of faith, of perseverance, of praying in His Name, of praying in the will of God. But all these conditions were summed up in the one central one: 'If ye abide in Me, ask whatsoever ye will and it shall be done unto you'.
It became clear that the power to pray the effectual prayer of faith depended upon the life. It is only to a man given up to live as entirely in Christ and for Christ as the branch in the vine, that these promises come true."
-Andrew Murray
