"Virtue-even attempted virtue-brings light; indulgence brings fog."

C.S. Lewis​

 

[nChrist]

""Nourished up in the Words of Faith" (1 Timothy 4:6). God's Word is the only nutritive food for the soul! This is why the Holy Scriptures are given to us-that we may grow in love and reverence for them, and be more and more regulated by them. It is only by feeding on this Heavenly Manna, that strength is obtained for our pilgrim walk, for our warfare with sin and Satan, and for our service unto God and our fellows."

Arthur Pink​

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. - Eleanor Roosevelt.

Saw the quote the other day, thought she was a wise woman.

"You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are. Just think about the way Jesus honors you....and smile."

- Max Lucado​

"Leben ist das schönste Märchen" <- Life is the most beautiful story

"Not only does sin hinder prayer; prayer hinders sin. The two are always opposed. The more careless we are about sin, the less we will pray. The more we pray, the less careless we will be about sin. Both sin and prayer are powerful forces. Which one is moving you?"

- Dr. Alvin Vander Griend​

2 kinds of people:
those who try incessantly to push others into the ground;
and fortunately people focused on lifting others UP. I employ Selective hearing for the latter, as per the Bible:
28 uses of the word &#8220;sinners&#8221; and 13 of the word &#8220;sinner&#8221; in NT Scripture.
None refer to people who have come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus.

Paul asked, &#8220;Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!
We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? (Romans 6:1-2).

God has saved us, and called us to a holy life (2 Timothy 1:9).

Paul told the Christians, &#8220;As God&#8217;s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness & patience (Colossians 3:12).

As a Christian, we each can talk with God, as Jesus calls us His "friends".
To Him, we are sinners no longer, but "dearly beloved FRIENDS"

(to the OP: Forgive that I used 3 scriptures, instead of just one.)

"On days when life is difficult and I feel overwhelmed, as I do fairly often, it helps to remember in my prayers that all God requires of me is to trust Him and be His friend. I find I can do that."

- Bruce Larson​

"God doesn't always smooth the path, but sometimes he puts springs in the wagon."

- Marshall Lucas​

 

[nChrist]

"Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing."

- Edward McKendree (E. M.) Bounds​

"Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work. " Rev. Peter Marshall

 

[nChrist]

"Christians ought not to be smothered in fear. There is a spiritual readiness, where we return to having the peace of God stand guard over our hearts and minds. What an incredible witness it is to a lost and fearful society when the Christian acts like a child of God, living under the loving sovereignty of the Heavenly Father. The Christian needs to walk in peace, so no matter what happens they will be able to bear witness to a watching world."

- Henry Blackaby​

 

[nChrist]

"God takes us into deep waters, not to drown us but to cleanse us."

I put this somewhere else. But one of my favorite quotes is by the grandson of Tenzing Norgay(Sir Edmund Hillary's partner) while rallying disgruntled porters who were reluctant to rescue a client:

"We are Sherpas and have never yet left a man to die on a mountain. It is not our way..."

 

[nChrist]

"No one is safe by his own strength, but he is safe by the grace and mercy of God."

- St. Cyprian​
