Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
God loveth those who are pure. No one is more loved than one of purity and immaculate cleanliness.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
-Thomas Paine
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?"
In truth, there was only one Christian and he died on the cross.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by its dualities.
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
-Swami Vivekananda
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
