To know that God thinks about me is the beginning of my journey of faith.

Beauty is in the eye of the Creator.

Jesus came not to condemn, but to reclaim.

Nothing bothers the devil more than a Christian delighting in God’s presence.

Satan hates God for His own sake, and everything that is dear to God he hates for the very reason that God loves it.

When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.

So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.
