For what can be known about God is plain to all, because God is plain to all, because God has shown it to them. Ever since creation of the world His invisible nature, namely His eternal power has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
-Jim Elliot
What you are is God’s gift to you; what you make of it is your gift to God.
-Anthony Dalla Villa
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
Love is the firstborn, loftier than the gods, fathers and men. You, O Love, are the eldest of all, altogether mighty. To you we pay homage!...
Burnt offerings, sacred feasts, intense meditations, puja and taking millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage: the merits of all these can be obtained by enshrining Lord within your heart for a fraction of a second.
For a week, you just closely observe the vibrations arising in your mind, events
unfolding around you and the functioning of nature. You will realize that other
than your false hopes and unfounded fears, no one needs "God".
-Deep Trivedi
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
