Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.
Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
The greatest thing is to give thanks for everything. He who has learned this knows what it means to live. He has penetrated the whole mystery of life: giving thanks for everything.
God doesn’t owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.
God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.
Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.
You will trust God to the degree you know you are loved by Him.
I have a great need for Christ: I have a great Christ for my need.
The child of God knows his good works do not make him acceptable to God, for he was acceptable to God by Jesus Christ long before he had any good works.
If you rest on the finished work of Jesus you have already the best evidence of your salvation in the world; you have God’s word for it; what more is needed?
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
There is no pit so deep, that God’s love is not deeper still.
Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me.
God buries our sins in the depths of the sea and then puts up a sign that reads, “No fishing.”
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.
Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.
