If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.

"Kafka on the Shore"
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!...
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
Heaven means to be one with God.
-Confucius
God is never tired of bringing the sun out every morning, taking it in the evenings and bringing out the moon.
-Jaachynma N. E. Agu
"The Prince and the Pauper"
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard
"Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters"
Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Lord, give us joy in our families, and make us models for the rest.
If God is to be defined in one sentence, then 'God' is the elementary force
prevailing with all its three dimensions...that is, law, energy and desire for
evolution, in each and every atom of this existence.
-Deep Trivedi
