When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

 

If Christianity is valid, why is there so much evil in the world?" To this the famous preacher replied, "With so much soap, why are there so many dirty people in the world? Christianity, like soap, must be personally applied if it is to make a difference in our lives.

 

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'

 

When life is hard it's easy to focus only on the bad things and forget all about the good things God has given us. But God has blessed every one of us in ways we often overlook.

 

 

My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.

 

Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality.

 

Integrity means that if our private life were suddenly exposed, we'd have no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed. Integrity means that our outward life is consistent with our inner convictions.

 

You can't control the length of your life. You can control the depth

 

There are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ.

 

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

 

Ask God to show you His plans, not bless your dreams

 

We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?

 

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.

 

Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.

 

Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together. But, it doesn't pull God down to us: It pulls us up to Him.

 

... the thing that kept Christ on that cross was love, not the nail.

 

If you want the perfect plan that God has for your life, you will have to go by way of Calvary to get it.

 

The greatest need in the world is the transformation of human nature. We need a new heart that will not have lust and greed and hate in it. We need a heart filled with love and peace and joy, and that is why Jesus came into the world.

 

The way we live often speaks far louder than our words.

 

My prayer today is that we will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around us, and will know in our hearts that He will never forsake us as we trust in Him.

 

Robots do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.

 

Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.

 

God does not call us to be successful, but to be obedient.

 

If God can be fully proved by the human mind, then He is no greater than the mind that proves Him.

Billy Graham
