You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
-André Gide
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?"
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
-Jim Elliot
You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
-Salman Rushdie
"The Satanic Verses"
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter…then manifestation in the divine in himself and the realisation of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aims possible to man on earth.
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
