God Quotes

No god craves weaklings.

~ Daniel Woodrell

it is contrary to our natural logic that God would choose to use the foolish and the weak to show himself to be wise. We have difficulty seeing how God is praised through our insufficiencies

~ Gloria Furman

As our faith grows and we come to know more about the attributes of God and his role in our lives and our obedience, we learn to see our weakness in light of these words, For is it God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure (Phil. 2:13).

~ Hayley Dimarco

People are looking for someone to listen to them. Someone willing to grant them time, to listen to their dramas and difficulties. This is what I call the “apostolate of the ear,” and it is important. Very important. I feel compelled to say to confessors: talk, listen with patience, and above all tell people that God loves them.

~ Pope Francis

Mostly, people are looking for someone to listen to them. Someone willing to grant them time, to listen to their dramas and difficulties. This is what I call the “apostolate of the ear,” and it is important. Very important. I feel compelled to say to confessors: talk, listen with patience, and above all tell people that God loves them.

~ Pope Francis

Listening is an act of love. When you listen to people, you are communicating non-verbally that they are important to you.

~ Jim George

Is it possible that the reason you feel as if God doesn't see you or your problems or care about your stress is because you are focused on you, instead of God?

~ Tracie Miles

Most emotional and physical symptoms of stress and depression are not typically caused by the circumstances themselves, but instead by how our minds perceive what is going on and how our hearts hold up under the pressure.

~ Tracie Miles

They forget that for a Creator to create, He must be greater than His creation, thus He must be by definition not less than emotional.

~ Geoffrey Wood

My God, rich people have the time to praise You if they want to, but the poor people are so busy, accept their work as praise because, my God, they don’t have time for everything.

~ Garrison Keillor

Frequently give up some of your property by giving it with a generous heart to the poor ... It is true that God will repay us not only in the next world but even in this.

~ Francis De Sales

When everything all in a moment comes together, surprisingly perfect, it doesn’t prove there’s a loving God; but if there is, isn’t it perfect when all in a moment, God proves how surprisingly He loves?

~ Geoffrey Wood

The problem with living forever, of course, is you have to live forever before you know you're immortal...or invincible. Even the gods, in this way, must always remain uncertain. Time trumps immortality just as uncertainty trumps omniscience, for a knower can only ever know what it knows, never what it doesn't. (attrib: F.L. Vanderson)

~ Mort W. Lumsden

Success is not money, cars, fame or material possessions but the lives you touched positively.

~ Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

I have never believed that God “makes” bad things happen. Death happens to everyone, not as a punishment, but because we are not meant to stay on this earth forever. As a result we are vulnerable rather than invincible, as is the earth we live on. And if our soul is immortal, we move forward knowing we can all be together again one day.

~ John Pete

The cops will break down your door to save you. God will break down your constitution. Brokenness is not the opposite of wholeness. It's how He gets in.

~ Kate Mcgahan

Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.

~ Fulton J. Sheen

When God wants to do an impossible task, He takes an impossible person and breaks her.

~ Mary E. Demuth

The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. And that is a fact. So if you need to brag, brag about that.

~ Max Lucado

There's nothing more narcissistic than being sure that you are built in the image of an all-powerful Creator-God, and that same God answers your prayers, knows your name, and has a personal relationship with you.

~ David G. Mcafee

If you want to be a strong, maturing Christian, your first priority is to develop a closer relationship with God.

~ Jim George

God is strongest when we are weakest.

~ Janice Cantore

Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it as it is to its victims—the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates.

~ Paul Hoffman

God always rewards openly what was done in the secret.

~ Sunday Adelaja

So, your god is the only god? Okay, but then, so is my dog.

~ Fakeer Ishavardas

The sooner the jihadis go up to their imagined #heaven, the sooner our earth would be a heaven.

~ Fakeer Ishavardas

I have known many survivors for whom the holocaust is the central them of their lives. They have no other. I have tried to live with tolerance and forgiveness as the theme of my life. God have us the power to be good or evil. This is our choice. Because some pick evil, we must work together to recognize and stop it. But while we survivors may lead the change, we cannot do this alone. It must be the goal of all people. If we will join in this goal, then there is hope for humanity.

~ Andrea Warren

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

~ Anonymous

It must be a real betrayal, when your body turns against you. I wonder if she likes flowers. All the bits of you that can go wrong...I don't like flowers, not really. I like growing them, but that's only because I like seeing them blossom, and seeing them

~ Neil Gaiman

...God sometimes sends flowers -but I like it best when he darkens the sky and lights up an infinitude of worlds...

~ John Geddes

Something was nagging at me that I was trying to resist. Was it then or was it later that the thought came to me: if God really does exist, and is not just a myth, it must have a consequence for the whole of life. It was not a comfortable thought.

~ Jennifer Worth

― all you have to do is kill every citizen at birth and then, by God, you're left with the perfect ―

~ William Marshall

The Word of God gives birth to thoughts about God and about the knowledge of God.

~ Sunday Adelaja

Right now I am like the unborn baby in the womb, knowing nothing except the comforting warmth of the amniotic fluid in which I swim, the comforting nourishment entering my body from a source I cannot see or understand. My whole being comes from an unseen, unknown nurturer. By that nurturer I am totally loved and protected, and that love is forever. It does not end when I am precipitated out of the safe waters of the womb into the unsafe world. It will. It end when I breathe my last, mortal breath. That love manifested itself joyously in the creation of the universe, became particular for us in Jesus, and will show itself most gloriously in the Second Coming. We need not fear.

~ Madeleine L'engle

A strong drink can numb the soul as good as any prayer

~ Erin Bowman

People joke, in our field, about Pythagoras and his religious cult based on perfect geometry and other abstract mathematical forms, but if we are going to have religion at all then a religion of mathematics seems ideal, because if God exists then what is He but a mathematician?

~ Matt Haig

God made the integers, all the rest is the work of Man.

~ Leopold Kronecker

Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.

~ Blaise Pascal

All jobs must be respected, because they are being done unto God.

~ Sunday Adelaja

Just as it is by His goodness that God gives being to beings, so also it is by His goodness that He makes causes to be causes, thus delegating to them a certain participation in His actuality. Or rather, since causality flows from actuality, let us say that He confers the one in conferring the other, so that to the Christian mind the physical world in which we live offers a face which is the reverse of its physicism itself, a face where all that was read on the one side in terms of force, energy and law, is now read, on the other in terms of participations and analogies of the Divine Being. The Christian world takes on the character of a sacred world with a relation to God inscribed in its very being and every law that rules its functioning.

~ Étienne Gilson
