Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.
I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.
If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
Love to be real, it must cost – it must hurt – it must empty us of self.
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.
The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.
People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.
Love is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same – with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead.
All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.
Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.
