God Quotes

God gives grace for good work.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

When there is shortage of anointing, you will begin to doubt your calling

~ Steven Chuks Nwaokeke

What is life but God's daring invitation to a remarkable journey? And what is human nature but a staunchly inbred tendency toward self-preservation? And because of the rigidly paradoxical nature of these things, the road of life is seldom trod beyond a few scant steps.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

God hasn't called you to walk in someone else's shoes (purpose). He wants you to walk in the shoes that fit you, for which He made you. You aren't going to succeed walking in another woman's shoes.

~ Beth Moore Jones

I felt I had a calling in my life to be in full-time ministry, and although I was very successful in the insurance business, earning a very large six-figure income, I gave notice to my company and sold out in January 2007 to go into the ministry full-time.

~ Michael Richard Stosic

We are never short on opportunities to answer the call to assist the widows, support the homeless, stand up for justice and to preach Christ crucified and resurrected. That is the true calling of every believer.

~ Andrena Sawyer

Will I someday pass into history having passed by God and therefore forfeited the opportunity to change my world and reap the blessing of being able to do so because I saw myself as inadequate to achieve either? And how long will it take me to realize that if I doggedly refuse to pass by God, my inadequacy is instantly irrelevant and I have in actuality begun to achieve these very things.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

Meanwhile, on Earth, a completely different esoteric plane of existence, Father Chuck awoke with a jolt. This time he was sure of it. Oh dear, he’d heard the Voice of God.What had the Good Lord said? Trembling, the little priest smoothed down his mustache. He was not the right man for a calling. Not the right man at all.

~ E.a.a. Wilson

Purpose declares that the trajectory of my existence and the course of human history were intentionally set to collide at this precise moment in time because what I have to offer human history is desperately needed at this precise time.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

To live out God’s plan for your life calls for you to discipline yourself…and your body. To push yourself. To deny yourself.

~ Elizabeth George

God does not choose people because of their ability, but because of their availability.

~ Brother Andrew

The point of the calling was, quite simply, that it was appointed by God to serve neighbors. If along the way some self-fulfillment came as well, there was nothing wrong with that, but it was hardly the point of the calling.

~ Gilbert Meilaender

God is using all of your experiences, both good and bad, to develop your character to match your calling.

~ Lysa Terkeurst

One of the greatest advantages of singleness is the potential for greater focus on Christ and accomplishing work for Him.

~ Elizabeth George

Start where you are-do anything you can do, and do everything you can do, until you find something you must do! That something is probably your spiritual gift.

~ Jim George

God will let you into the battlefield so you can understand the meaning of victory.

~ Gift Gugu Mona

Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perhaps everything.... It is not that 'God' is a myth, but that myth is the revelation of a divine life in man. It is not we who invent myth; rather, it speaks to us as a Word of God.

~ Madeleine L'engle

Timeless principles never age, and truth is as young as the day it was spoken into existence.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

God is love, and music is the language of love; therefore, music is the language of God. Music is a language more profound than words. How often have you heard a great piece of music and felt that? Great music does not just make you feel good; great music suggests some profound truth or mysterious meaning that is objectively true but not translatable into words.

~ Peter Kreeft

God is the inevitability of humanity’s search for true meaning.

~ Jared Brock

God made you for a reason and your life has profound meaning! We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives.

~ Rick Warren

The existentialist, on the contrary, finds it extremely embarrassing that God does not exist, for there disappears with Him all possibility of finding values in an intelligible heaven. There can no longer be any good a priori, since there is no infinite and perfect consciousness to think it. It is nowhere written that “the good” exists, that one must be honest or must not lie, since we are now upon the plane where there are only men. Dostoevsky once wrote: “If God did not exist, everything would be permitted”; and that, for existentialism, is the starting point. Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself. He discovers forthwith, that he is without excuse.

~ Jean-Paul Sartre

I suddenly asked my master Caeiro, “Are you at peace with yourself?” and he answered, “No, I’m at peace.” It was like the voice of the earth, which is everything and no one.

~ Álvaro De Campos

I mean, I think even God would agree with this at this point. God’s existence isn’t important. It’s what we do with what we’ve got that counts.

~ Michael Ruse

Sometimes in the evening on Summer days,Even when there’s not a breeze at all, it seemsLike there’s a light breeze blowing for a minuteBut the trees are unmovingIn every leaf of their leavesAnd our feelings have had an illusion,An illusion of what would please them...

~ Alberto Caeiro

Nothing in this life will bring true meaning and happiness apart from God.

~ Jim George

And then a memory from Avalon surfaced in her mind, something she had not thought of for a decade; one of the Druids, giving instruction in the secret wisdom to the young priestesses, had said, If you would have the message of the Gods to direct your life, look for that which repeats, again and again; for this is the message given you by the Gods, the karmic lesson you must learn for this incarnation. It comes again and again until you have made it part of your soul and your enduring spirit.

~ Marion Zimmer Bradley

To be more precise... death is [contrary to] God, and if death is natural, if it is the ultimate truth about life and about the world, if it is the highest and immutable law about all of creation, then there is no God, then this whole story about creation, about joy, and about the light of life is a total lie.

~ Alexander Schmemann

Who you are in Christ is far more important and meaningful than whatever has taken place in your past.

~ Elizabeth George

The government can make laws, but only the God can give self-esteem where there is none

~ Sunday Adelaja

God created you in His own image.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

I am wonderful creation of God.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

Despite our battered exterior and in spite of the festering scars and rank filth that overlays it, there is underneath it all the pristine likeness of God Himself. And we would be wise to cast an eye not on the marred exterior, but to be fixed on the glorious interior.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

The only love you have to prove in life is your love of God and helping others. Anyone that can't see that has proven themselves to be unworthy of your time because why would you spend your life with someone that can't tell the difference between a diamond and dirt?

~ Shannon L. Alder

It has nothing to do with who I am as compared to everyone else. It has everything to do with who I am in companionship with God.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

I say that my value is based on my accomplishments. Christmas is God saying that I am His accomplishment and that will forever be enough.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

When a person thinks you are too good for them, they create a wall without even taking a chance. The best life that God has in store for a person is often thrown away because of what he or she thinks they deserve. True love is not the life you had, but the life you never realized you could have.

~ Shannon L. Alder

How do you get rid of unhappiness? You must release yourself from the prison you have unknowingly placed yourself in. Come to terms with the fact that there are things that you cannot control. But, just because you don’t ‘control’ something, doesn’t mean it’s going to fall to pieces. That may be the hardest part. We get bent out of shape when something happens that is out of our control, because we don’t understand why it’s happening or where it’s coming from. It’s unsettling. You put your fighting arms up and prepare to battle the world. But, stop for a moment. Think. Where are all of these things coming from?The world is not a wild, untamed place, where things are a free for all. Understand that there is a higher power running the world.

~ Leigh Hershkovich

You are not your skin. You are not your body. You are a soul. You are a cell in the body of the Divine. You are a magnificent product of Divine Creation. You are a moment of inspiration made manifest in a human body.

~ Yancy Lael

1. We fear people because they can expose and humiliate us. 2. We fear people because they can reject, ridicule, or despise us. 3. We fear people because they can attack, oppress, or threaten us. These three reasons have one thing in common: they see people as “bigger” (that is, more powerful and significant) than God, and, out of the fear that creates in us, we give other people the power and right to tell us what to feel, think, and do.

~ Edward T. Welch
