2. Be sure not to ask a little of God. ~~W. Adam~~
3. ..."It is a poor thing to strike our colors to God when the ship is going down under us; a poor thing to come to Him as a last resort, to offer up 'our own' when it is no longer worth keeping. If God were proud He would hardly have us on such terms; but He is not proud, He stoops to conquer. He will have us even though we've shown that we prefer everything else to Him, and come to Him because there is 'nothing better' left to be had."
4. Thou hast made us for Thyself, O Lord; and our heart is restless until it rests in Thee.
5. The mountains are God's thoughts piled up. The ocean is God's thoughts spread out. The flowers are God's thoughts in bloom. The dew drops are God's thoughts in pearls. ~~Sam Jones~~
6. I would fain know all that I need, and all that I may. I leave God's secrets to Himself. It is happy for me that God makes me of His court, and not of His council.
7. When men cease to wonder, God's secrets remain unrevealed.
8. None but God can satisfy the longing of the immortal soul; as the heart was made for Him, He only can fill it.
9. He censures God who quarrels with the imperfections of men.
10. There is only one basis for really enjoying life, and that is, to walk in the way in which God leads you. Then you are prepared to find delight in all sorts of wayward incidents....When a man is drifting through life, seeking nothing outside of self-gratification, the world must become increasingly a barren and forbidding wilderness. But it is wonderful how many delights fall to the lot of him who is led by God. For such a one the clasp of a friend\'s hand, a cool drink in the heat of noon, a merry salutation from a passing traveler, a glimpse of beauty by the road, a quiet resting place at night, are all full of unspeakable pleasure.
11. We talk about God's remembering us, as if it were a special effort. But if we could only know how truly we belong to God, it would be different. God's remembrance of us is the natural claiming of our life by Him as true part of His own.
12. "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time."
13. "You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will."
14. "When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others---not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one."
15. "As Caesar demands of us the stamp of his likeness, so does God also. And as we render money to the one, so we give our souls to the other,----our souls enlightened and sealed with the light of His countenance."
16. "The lovingkindness of the Lord is an essential part of Himself; His severity is accidental. One belongs to Himself, the other to external circumstances."
17. "I never was without some religious principles. I never doubted, for instance, the existence of the Deity; that He made the world, and governed it by His Providence; that the most acceptable service of God was the doing good to man; that our souls are immortal; and that all crime will be punished, and virtue rewarded, either here or hereafter."
18. "God will mend a broken heart if you give Him all the pieces." Myrtie Stanton
19. "A parboiled conscience is not right, soft in one part and hard in another. The Spirit of God is uniform it its work."
20. "God loves to effect His greatest works by means tending under ordinary circumstances to produce the very opposite of what is to be done."
21. "On earth we have nothing to do with success or its results, but only being true to God and for God; for it is sincerity and not success which is the sweet savor before God."
22. "God desires to be loved by men, although He needs them not; and men refuse to love God, though they need Him in an infinite degree."
23. "God makes greater haste to the sinner than the sinner does to God. God makes much of our first inclination."
24. "Think not that all is well within when all is well without, or that thy being pleased is a sign that God is pleased."
25. "Think not that you shall turn to God when you will, if you will not when you may."
26. "The nature of God is the same to all men, but the effects are not the same on all men; because they do not all put it to the same uses."

29. "He wishes to give who advises us to ask."
30. "The nature of God is the same to all men, but the effects are not the same on all men; because they do not put it all to the same uses."
31. "God hath divers ways into divers men. Into some he comes at noon, in the sunshine of prosperity; to some in the dark and heavy clouds of adversity. Some he affects with the music of the church; some, with some particular collect or prayer; some, with some passage of a sermon, which takes no hold of him that stands next to him. Watch the way of the Spirit of God into thee."
32. "The angels glorify; men scrutinize: angels raise their voices in praise; men in disputation: they conceal their faces with their wings; but man with a presumptuous gaze would look into Thine unspeakable Glory."

37. "God did entrust the descendants of Abraham with the first revelation of Himself."
38. "We are told in scripture that with God all things are possible. But Lewis states that this does not mean that God can do anything. God cannot, for example, answer nonsensical questions...He cannot do both of two mutually exclusive things; for example, He cannot create creatures with free will and at the same time withhold free will from them."

44. "God is not a deceiver, that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us."
