The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
George MacDonaldForgiveness is the giving and so the receiving of life. the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat; whereas the former is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart.
George MacDonaldIt is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.
George MacDonaldEach is but a means to an end; in the perfected end we find the intent, and there God โ not in the laws themselves, except as his means of revealing himself. For that same reason, human science cannot discover God. For human science is but the backward undoing of the tapestry-web of God's science, it works with its back to him, and is always leaving him โ his intent.
