George MacDonaldIf you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonaldThe perfection of His relation to us swallows up all our imperfections, all our defeats, all our evils; for our childhood is born of His fatherhood. That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, โThou art my refuge, because Thou art my homeโ.
George MacDonald
