Certainly the death of Christ has been understood as expiation for human sin through the whole length of church history, and I defer with all possible sincerity to the central tenets of the Christian tradition, but as for myself, I confess that I struggle to understand the phenomenon of ritual sacrifice, and the Crucifixion when explicated in its terms. The concept is so central to the tradition that I have no desire to take issue with it, and so difficult for me that I leave it for others to interpret. If it answered to a deep human need at other times, and it answers now to other spirits than mine, then it is a great kindness of God toward them, and a great proof of God's attentive grace toward his creatures. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Kindness Of God quotes by Marilynne Robinson
We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life. ~ George A. Smith
Kindness Of God quotes by George A. Smith
Allow the light and the healing presence of Christ to shine brightly through your lives. In that way, all those who come in contact with you will discover the loving kindness of God. ~ Pope John Paul II
Kindness Of God quotes by Pope John Paul II
This much is certain, that we have no theological right to set any sort of limits to the loving-kindness of God which has appeared in Jesus Christ. Our theological duty is to see and understand it as being still greater than we had seen before. ~ Karl Barth
Kindness Of God quotes by Karl Barth
St. Irenaeus: 'To create is,Proper to the kindness of God, but to be created is proper to man. ~ Dumitru Staniloae
Kindness Of God quotes by Dumitru Staniloae
Kindness and Truth should always hold hands. Together they are powerful and fully capable of spreading insight and revelation, while also generating conviction and true repentance. However, one without the other is never as beneficial or profitable.

When truth is spoken in a callous manner, or merely in a hurried fashion, discourse will most likely follow. By forgetting to speak honest words with the love and kindness of God behind them, our candor will put folks off. This in turn hinders our effectiveness and the work of the Holy Spirit ~ Cheryl Zelenka
Kindness Of God quotes by Cheryl Zelenka
And above all, what a strange attitude that actually is, when we no longer find Christian service worthwhile if the denarius of salvation may be obtained even without it! It seems as if we want to be rewarded, not just with our own salvation, but most especially with other people's damnation - just like the workers hired in the first hour. That is very human, but the Lord's parable is particularly meant to make us quite aware of how profoundly un-Christian it is at the same time. Anyone who looks on the loss of salvation for others as the condition, as it were, on which he serves Christ will in the end only be able to turn away grumbling, because THAT kind of reward is contrary to the loving-kindness of God.
-What It Means To Be A Christian ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Kindness Of God quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Kindness Of God quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God. ~ William Barclay
Kindness Of God quotes by William Barclay
I don't know what it is that makes someone love you, but whatever it is, it's the only thing that matters, and if it is not there you won't create it by kindness, or generosity, or anything of that sort. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Kindness Of God quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Why do religions have edges?" asked Teresa ...
"God is here," said the printed text on the wall. "Yes," said Sophie. "But," she asked, "isn't He everywhere? Then why do they make Him little?" And she thought of those edges, pressing against each other, hurting, jarring, offending, barring one human being from another, shutting away their understanding and their souls.
Yet if you have no edges, thought Sophie, how lonely, how drifting, you must consent to be. ~ Rumer Godden
Kindness Of God quotes by Rumer Godden
Many believers' entire lives are reduced to nothing more than a sin management program, running the endless treadmill of trying to please God by doing more for Him or trying to sin less. ~ Paul Silway
Kindness Of God quotes by Paul Silway
I am a flawed person. A brook with many stones, a clear blue sky with many blackbirds. I have many shortcomings. A rainbow that's not long enough, a starry night with clouds. But I can only be thankful to the God who loves me just this way, and I can only be grateful to the people in my life who accept the clear blue sky with many blackbirds and who are patient with the rainbow that isn't long enough. And because of this, I am taught love, because of this I love my God, and I love these people. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Kindness Of God quotes by C. JoyBell C.
When I was asked to do something good, I often say yes, I'll try, yes, I'll do my best. And part of that is believing, if God loves me, if God made everything from leaves to seals and oak trees, then what is it I can't do? ~ Maya Angelou
Kindness Of God quotes by Maya Angelou
Life loses force and Death gains it as I trot forward in the future!' said the mighty God of Time. ~ J. Anita
Kindness Of God quotes by J. Anita
And even to me, one who likes life, it seems butterflies and soap bubbles and whatever is of their kind among human beings know most about happiness.
To see these light, foolish, delicate, sensitive little souls fluttering
that seduces Zarathustra to tears and songs.
I would only believe in a god who knew how to dance.
And when I saw my devil, there I found him earnest, thorough, deep, somber; it was the spirit of gravity
through him all things fall.
Not by wrath does one kill, but by laughing. Up, let us kill the spirit of gravity! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Kindness Of God quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Don't worry about anything. Pray about everything ... Put your hands together and point your soul toward the light of God. ~ Andrew Klavan
Kindness Of God quotes by Andrew Klavan
Saints are described as fearing the name of God; they are reverent worshippers; they stand in awe of the Lord's authority; they are afraid of offending Him; they feel their own nothingness in the sight of the Infinite One. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Kindness Of God quotes by Charles Spurgeon
From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish; but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Kindness Of God quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Anyone I love takes away part of my freedom, but in that case it is I who wished it; and there is so much pleasure in loving that one gladly sacrifices something for its sake. Any one who loves me takes away all my freedom. Anyone who admires me (as a writer) threatens to take it away from me. I even fear those who understand me, which is why I spend so much time covering my tracks - both in my private life and in the persona I express through my books. What would have delighted me, had I loved god, is the thought that god gives nothing in return. ~ Henry De Montherlant
Kindness Of God quotes by Henry De Montherlant
Religions, creeds, drama, poetry, games, folklore, folk tales, mythology, moral and aesthetic codes' elements of the political and juridical life affirming a personality's value , freedom and tolerance ; philosophy, theater, galleries , museums, libraries-this is the unbroken line of human culture, the first act of which has been played in heaven between God and man. That is climbing the holy mountain , the top of which remains unreachable' marching through darkness by means of the blazing candle carried by man.
Civilization is the continuation of technical rather than spiritual progress in the same way that Darwinian evolution is the continuation of biological rather than human progress. Civilization represents the development of the potential forces that existed in our less developed ancestors. It is a continuation of the natural , mechanical elements-that is, of the unconscious, senseless elements of our existence. Therefore, civilization is neither good nor bad in itself. Man must create civilization , just as he must breathe or eat. It is an expression of necessity and of our lack of freedom. Culture ,on the contrary, is the ever-present feeling of choice and expression of human freedom. ~ Alija Izetbegovic
Kindness Of God quotes by Alija Izetbegovic
God does give times of peace in our Christian lives, but it is not all of the time. ~ Dillon Burroughs
Kindness Of God quotes by Dillon Burroughs
Most of us will find that we were born for service. We must leave the results to God. If failure comes, there need be no sorrow. The work was done only for God. - Swami Vivekananda ~ Sister Nivedita
Kindness Of God quotes by Sister Nivedita
I'd go to a party and promise Michael I wouldn't drink too much. He'd plead: "Just take it easy, okay? Watch yourself," and I'd swear: "I won't. I don't want to get too drunk." I'd mean that, of course, and I'd start out by measuring myself: one glass of wine the first half hour, one glass the second, and so on. But then something would snap, some uncontrollable process would kick in, and all of a sudden it would be two or three hours later and I'd be on my sixth or tenth or God knows what glass of wine, and I'd be plastered. I couldn't account for it, couldn't explain it, couldn't even rationalize it, although I struggled mightily to. I seemed to get drunk, blind drunk, against my will. ~ Caroline Knapp
Kindness Of God quotes by Caroline Knapp
There is a British pop group called God. At a recent book signing the lead singer introduced himself and gave me a cassette. I have heard the voice of God. ~ J.G. Ballard
Kindness Of God quotes by J.G. Ballard
In times of suffering, may God strengthen you. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Kindness Of God quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days? ~ Joyce Meyer
Kindness Of God quotes by Joyce Meyer
She saw me as safe, and why shouldn't she? I was a man of the cloth, after all, bound by God to be a caregiver of his flock. Of course, she would assume that she could tease me, touch me, without bothering my priestly composure. How could she know what her words and voice did to me? How could she know that her hand was currently searing its outline onto my chest? ~ Sierra Simone
Kindness Of God quotes by Sierra Simone
Of all fears, they are best that are made by the blood of Christ; and of all joy, that is the sweetest that is mixed with mourning over Christ: Oh! it is a goodly thing to be on our knees, with Christ in our arms, before God: I hope I know something of these things. ~ John Bunyan
Kindness Of God quotes by John Bunyan
I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Kindness Of God quotes by L.M. Montgomery
If God does exist, it's in music and in art, I think there's more spiritually in what I do than in a lot of religious groups judging, especially in the way they've treated me in the past couple of years. I've grown tired of talking about religion. It's time for me to move on. I'm trying to redefine the idea of spirituality and make it now such a bad word for myself, because I find that I sound really stupid saying it sometimes ~ Marilyn Manson
Kindness Of God quotes by Marilyn Manson
But he knew life, its foulness as well as its fairness, its greatness in spite of the slime that infested it, and by God he was going to have his say on it to the world. Saints in heaven - how could they be anything but fair and pure? No praise to them. But saints in slime - ah, that was the everlasting wonder! That was what made life worth while. To see moral grandeur rising out of cesspools of iniquity; to rise himself and first glimpse beauty, faint and far, through mud- dripping eyes; to see out of weakness, and frailty, and viciousness, and all abysmal brutishness, arising strength, and truth, and high spiritual endowment. ~ Jack London
Kindness Of God quotes by Jack London
To be an atheist is to maintain God. His existence or his non-existence, it amounts to much the same, on the plane of proof. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Kindness Of God quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
I've often wondered," I said. "If you were an animal, what animal would you be?"
She leaned back, puzzled. "I can't say I've given it any thought," she said. "Since God did not make me an animal."
"Indulge me," I said. "For instance: fox or cat?"
...
Obviously I was both, since - unlike many - here I still am. I still have a bag of tricks. And I'm still high in the tree. ~ Margaret Atwood
Kindness Of God quotes by Margaret Atwood
Each of the Arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a Muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them. ~ Eliza Farnham
Kindness Of God quotes by Eliza Farnham
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. ~ Anonymous
Kindness Of God quotes by Anonymous
I really don't put it down. I never have. It's just that I analyze it and look at it from a very rational point of view. I don't see it as coming from God and say that at a certain point the Holy Spirit zaps you with a super whammy on the head and you've "gone for tongues" and there is it. Tongues is a process that people build up to. Then, as you start to do something, just as when you practice the scales on the piano, you get better at it. ~ Marjoe Gortner
Kindness Of God quotes by Marjoe Gortner
All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children. ~ George MacDonald
Kindness Of God quotes by George MacDonald
Blessed be the grateful soul! ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Kindness Of God quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I have never come away from you without reflecting that the Spirit of God and His holy workings reside in you. ~ Vincent De Paul
Kindness Of God quotes by Vincent De Paul
How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. ~ Anonymous
Kindness Of God quotes by Anonymous
Since love came over and knocked me down,
Then kicked me in the side and fled,
I have suffered from a prolonged perplexity.
God is the object of my wonder and the closest to me.
Especially near sleep. My sheets are like the wings of a guardian angel.
There is no other fabric so near to my feelings. ~ Fanny Howe
Kindness Of God quotes by Fanny Howe
I am so afraid of people's words.They describe so distinctly everything:
And this they call dog and that they call house,
here the start and there the end.
I worry about their mockery with words,
they know everything, what will be, what was;
no mountain is still miraculous;
and their house and yard lead right up to God.
I want to warn and object: Let the things be!
I enjoy listening to the sound they are making.
But you always touch: and they hush and stand still.
That's how you kill. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Kindness Of God quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
The demands of justice must be met; the requirements of God's holiness must be satisfied; the awful debt we incurred must be paid. And on the Cross this was done; done by none less than the Son of God; done perfectly; done once for all. It is finished. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Kindness Of God quotes by Arthur W. Pink
She thought of the women at Chicken Little's funeral. The women who shrieked over the bier and at the lip of the open grave. What she had regarded since as unbecoming behavior seemed fitting to her now; they were screaming at the neck of God, his giant nape, the vast back-of-the-head that he had turned on them in death. But it seemed to her now that it was not a fist-shaking grief they were keening but rather a simple obligation to say something, do something, feel something about the dead. They could not let that heart-smashing event pass unrecorded, unidentified. It was poisonous, unnatural to let the dead go with a mere whimpering, a slight murmur, a rose bouquet of good taste. Good taste was out of place in the company of death, death itself was the essence of bad taste. And there must be much rage and saliva in its presence. The body must move and throw itself about, the eyes must roll, the hands should have no peace, and the throat should release all the yearning, despair and outrage that accompany the stupidity of loss. ~ Toni Morrison
Kindness Of God quotes by Toni Morrison
The disturbed individual who believes himself to be Christ, or to receive messages from God, is something of a cliche in our society. Ever since Sigmund Freud, many people have associated religiosity with neurosis and mental illness. ~ Robert Winston
Kindness Of God quotes by Robert Winston
He who believes in Me ... out of his heart will flow ... " John 7:38 Jesus did not say, "He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God," but, in essence, "He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him." Our Lord's teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a person - His purpose is to make a person exactly like Himself, and the Son of God is characterized by self-expenditure. If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us. Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us - and we cannot measure that at all. ~ Oswald Chambers
Kindness Of God quotes by Oswald Chambers
