 We can see hope in the midst of hopelessness. We can see peace in the midst of chaos. We have a hope that the world does not have. We can see clearly that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called according to His purpose." - Priscilla Shirer

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.  Augustine

By the cross we know the gravity of sin and the greatness of God’s love toward us. John Chrysostom

Nothing can separate you from God’s love absolutely nothing. God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough! Hannah Whitall Smith

Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God’s love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity. David Jeremiah

God’s Surprising Love Quotes

God is love. He didn’t need us. But he wanted us. And that is the most amazing thing.  Rick Warren

When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God’s love.  Charles Surgeon

We should be astonished at the goodness of God, stunned that He should bother to call us by name, our mouths wide open at His love, bewildered that at this very moment we are standing on holy ground. Brennan Manning

It’s not about finding ways to avoid God’s judgment and feeling like a failure if you don’t do everything perfectly. It’s about fully experiencing God’s love and letting it perfect you. It’s not about being somebody you are not. It’s about becoming who you really are. Stormie Omartian

Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us. Tullian Tchividjian

We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it.”You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.”

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.”

I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.”

Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God . . . as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the earth.”

Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.

The way to do a great deal is to keep on doing a little. The way to do nothing at all is to be continually resolving that you will do everything.”

No faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known God’s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.” Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength.” 
*Published in Spurgeon's The Salt-Cellars (Vol. 1), but originally said by Alexander Maclaren in an 1859 sermon.

I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.”

 It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.”

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

 God proved his love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’”

 Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?”

 There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.”

 If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”

We are the Bibles the world is reading; we are the creeds the world is needing; we are the sermons the world is heeding.”

 A real Christian is the one who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.”

 I have never known anyone to accept Christ’s redemption and later regret it.”

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

 Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.”

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”

 Christ not only died for all: he died for each.”

 Heaven is full of answers for which nobody ever bothered to ask.”

Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”

We say to our children, 'Act like grown-ups,' but Jesus said to the grown-ups, 'Be like children.'

Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.”

Knowing we will be with Christ forever far outweighs our burdens today! Keep your eyes on eternity!

The only hope for enduring peace is Jesus Christ."
