QUOTES

I love the sea. . . .I love to see the vast expanse of sky and water. I love to hear the waves crashing on the shore. I love to walk along the beach and feel the sand beneath my feet and the breeze blowing gently in my face. But the sea separates families and friends and entire continents from each other! In Heaven, there will be nothing to separate us from each other or from God. Ever!

~~Anne Graham Lotz
Heaven: My Father's House

Regardless of your present circumstances or crisis, pressures or pain, suffering or sorrow, failures or frustrations, danger or disease, . . . . Your situation is temporary compared to eternity. And eternity is going to be spent with Jesus in His Father's house that has been lovingly prepared just for you!

~~Anne Graham Lotz My Heart's Cry

You and I can be where Jesus is--now, and for all eternity--because He lives within us and has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us! When you and I follow Jesus, He promises that we will be where He is. And there is not one place in the entire universe, visible or invisible, where He is not! What a blessing!

~~Anne Graham Lotz My Heart's Cry

Even when we don't know how to pray, the Holy Spirit knows our needs, and He brings the deepest cries of our hearts before the throne of God. In ways we will never understand this side of eternity, God the Holy Spirit pleads for us before God the Father. Turn to God in every situation--even when you don't feel like it. The Spirit is interceding for you, in accordance with God's will.

~~Billy Graham Unto the Hills

Every day, we are literally overwhelmed by an abundance of goodness from the hand of God: relationships that bring joy and support, activities that provide an outlet for giving and growth, an eternal relationship with God. He not only loads us with benefits but also carries our burdens. At our invitation, He takes the weight of sadness and fear in our lives upon Himself.

~~Peter Wallace What the Psalmist Is Saying

God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that's God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that's God applauding your steps. Listen for Him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too tired to continue? He'll carry you. Too discouraged to fight? He's picking you up. God is for you.

~~Max Lucado In the Grip of Grace

If I satisfy my thirst for joy and passion by the presence and the promises of Christ, then the power of sin in my life is broken. Dr. John Piper puts it this way, with a smile: "We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can smell the steak sizzling on the grill." And what whets our appetite for maximum joy in the Lord? You guessed it--God's Word.

~~Joni Eareckson Tada Holiness in Hidden Places

God's Book is a veritable storehouse of promises--over seven thousand of them. Not empty hopes and dreams, not just nice-sounding, eloquently worded thoughts that make you feel warm all over, but promises. Verbal guarantees in writing, signed by the Creator Himself.
