I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don't know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.
You haven't done the will of God when you have done it miserably.
Any work of love brings a person face to face with God.
Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
God loves the world through us.
We cannot really know God if we do not pray.
We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. ''I will be a saint'' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make make myself a willing slave to the will of God.
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.
It is impossible to love God without loving our neighbor.
