The purposes of God point to one simple end-that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness. ~ George MacDonald
Purposes Of God quotes by George MacDonald
Evil by its very nature opposes the purposes of God, but God, in his sovereignty, can make even this evil serve his purposes. ~ David F. Wells
Purposes Of God quotes by David F. Wells
The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God's purposes and man's praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces. ~ Edward McKendree Bounds
Purposes Of God quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Angels play a very active role in the purposes of God and the affairs of men, but do not control human events or violate the free will of human beings. ~ Gary Kinnaman
Purposes Of God quotes by Gary Kinnaman
Go for the purposes of God, and the means to fulfill them will follow. ~ Reinhard Bonnke
Purposes Of God quotes by Reinhard Bonnke
Patience is a willingness, in a sense, to watch the unfolding purposes of God with a sense of wonder and awe, rather than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Purposes Of God quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
God often uses our challenges as stepping stones to the higher purposes of God. ~ James Robison
Purposes Of God quotes by James Robison
It is my desire and intent to trust the multi-layered good purposes of God than in what humans fabricate out of their need and experience. I specifically ask not to know these purposes so that I might remain a child in their unfolding. ~ William P. Young
Purposes Of God quotes by William P. Young
when you are surrendering your all to God and if God is taking you somewhere, focus less where He is taking you to, For He will definitely take you somewhere. Only surrender ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Purposes Of God quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Purposes Of God quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
But what does America have to do with ancient Israel? Israel was unique among nations in that it was conceived and dedicated at its foundation for the purposes of God. Ok..But there was one other - a civilization also conceived and dedicated to the will of God from its conception...America. In fact, those who laid its foundations...the Founding Fathers. No, long before the Founding Fathers. Those who laid America's foundations saw it as a new Israel, and Israel of the New World. And as with ancient Israel, they saw it as in covenant with God? Meaning? Meaning its rise or fall would be dependent on its relationship with God. If it followed His ways, America would become the most blessed, prosperous, and powerful nation on earth. From the very beninng they foretold it. And what they foretold would come true. America would rise to heights no other nation had ever known. Not that it was ever without fault or sin, but it would aspire to fuilfill its callings. What calling? To be a vessel of redemption, an instrument of God's purposes, a light to the world. It would give refuge to the world's poor and needy, and hope to its oppressed. It would stand against tyranny. It would fight, more than once, against the dark movements of the modern world that threatened to engulf the earth. ~ Jonathan Cahn
Purposes Of God quotes by Jonathan Cahn
The truth of the gospel is intended to free us to love God and others with our whole heart. When we ignore this heart aspect of our faith and try to live out our religion solely as correct doctrine or ethics, our passion is crippled, or perverted, and the divorce of our soul from the heart purposes of God toward us is deepened. The ~ John Eldredge
Purposes Of God quotes by John Eldredge
If we've deluded ourselves into thinking that our angry mass emails or conversation-stopping talking points serve as a ministry or carry out the purposes of God, we need to slow down and take a breath. ~ David Dark
Purposes Of God quotes by David Dark
There is also a dimension of patience which links it to a special reverence for life. Patience is a willingness, in a sense, to watch the unfolding purposes of God with a sense of wonder and awe, rather than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance. Put another way, too much anxious opening of the oven door and the cake falls instead of rising. So it is with us. If we are always selfishly taking our temperature to see if we are happy, we will not be. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Purposes Of God quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
True faith in God on the contrary awakens in you the mind of Christ, to reason yourself to the will and purposes of God. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Purposes Of God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
There is no substitute for an understanding mind. Satan can defeat the ignorant believer, but he cannot overcome the Christian who knows his Bible and understands the purposes of God. ~ Warren W. Wiersbe
Purposes Of God quotes by Warren W. Wiersbe
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God. ~ E. Stanley Jones
Purposes Of God quotes by E. Stanley Jones
As we ask God for some blessing, we have an obligation to participate ourselves in the fulfillment of those dreams, aspirations, hopes, and ideas. ~ Jimmy Carter
Purposes Of God quotes by Jimmy Carter
In practice, sin's counterfeit of God's love is impossible to perfect, for perfection here ends in the void, the undoing of the bonds of creation. The soul that falls away into sin continues to love mortal beloveds, but its attachments lack measure, and so its love goes begging. It wanders about aimlessly in a 'wasteland of need' (regio egestatis). ~ James Wetzel
Purposes Of God quotes by James Wetzel
The kingdom of God is for the broken hearted ~ Fred Rogers
Purposes Of God quotes by Fred Rogers
[God in the Law given to Moses] having forbidden all unlawful marriage, and all unseemly practice, and the union of women with women and men with men. ~ Eusebius
Purposes Of God quotes by Eusebius
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution. ~ M. Scott Peck
Purposes Of God quotes by M. Scott Peck
Thus I came to condemn capitalism, not through any oppression endured by me personally, but through that very deification of efficiency which capitalism had taught me, for its own purposes. ~ Anna Louise Strong
Purposes Of God quotes by Anna Louise Strong
To be free of insistence [free of forcing one's own opinion] is the path of Vitragta [attachment-free state, the enlightened one]. Quit insisting at all places. To even insist on the truth, God has considered it as ignorance. There is no insistence in 'Us' whatsoever! ~ Dada Bhagwan
Purposes Of God quotes by Dada Bhagwan
How is it that my prayers have devolved into a laundry list of requests verses an endless litany of praises? It may be that I've replaced the magnificence of God's divinity with the baseness of my desires. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Purposes Of God quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shinning sea! ~ Katharine Lee Bates
Purposes Of God quotes by Katharine Lee Bates
I often wonder how many prayers flooded the gates of Heaven that day. How many Christians, or otherwise, called on the Lord? How many Jews looked for the Almighty? How many others called, by whatever name, on the one true God? How many nonbelievers, if only for a moment, and if only to ask how this could happen, believed in Him and called on His name: "Jesus"? ~ Leslie Haskin
Purposes Of God quotes by Leslie Haskin
What you don't understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels. ~ Boris Pasternak
Purposes Of God quotes by Boris Pasternak
The social organs are constituted so as to enable them to develop harmoniously in the grand air of liberty. Away, then, with quacks and organizers! Away with their rings, and their chains, and their hooks, and their pincers! Away with their artificial methods! Away with their social laboratories, their governmental whims, their centralization, their tariffs, their universities, their State religions, their inflationary or monopolizing banks, their limitations, their restrictions, their moralizations, and their equalization by taxation! And now, after having vainly inflicted upon the social body so many systems, let them end where they ought to have begun - reject all systems, and try of liberty - liberty, which is an act of faith in God and in His work ~ Frederic Bastiat
Purposes Of God quotes by Frederic Bastiat
Be the reflection of God you want to see in the world ... It all starts with YOU! ~ Pamela R. Jeffers
Purposes Of God quotes by Pamela R. Jeffers
I was armed with millions of smiles. Apologetic smiles, pity-me smiles, I-look-unto-God smiles - name all the fake smiles needed to get through an afternoon with a group of people who claim to want the best for you while poking at your open sore with a stick - and I had them ready. ~ Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀
Purposes Of God quotes by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀
The Goddess is not just the female version of God. She represents a different concept. ~ Merlin Stone
Purposes Of God quotes by Merlin Stone
Fourth-century church father Gregory of Nazianzus wrote, God became human and poor for our sake, to raise up our flesh, to recover our divine image, to recreate humanity. We no longer observe distinctions arriving from the flesh, but are to bear within ourselves only the seal of God, by whom and for whom we were created. We are to be so formed and molded by Jesus that we are recognized as belonging to his one family. If only we could be what we hope to be, by the great kindness of our generous God! ~ Shane Claiborne
Purposes Of God quotes by Shane Claiborne
We need to ask ourselves why are so busy. Sabbath helps us to question our assumptions. The truth is that we may be busy because we feel a need to validate our worth. Sabbath gives us a chance to step off the hampster wheel and listen to the voice that tells us we are beloved by God. The sabbath heals us from our compulsion to measure ourselves by what we accomplish, who we know, and the influence we have. Sabbath enables us to define ourselves less by our achievements and more as beloved daughters and sons of God. As we become more aware of how much we are cherished as children of God, we grow in our trust of God. ~ Ken Shigematsu
Purposes Of God quotes by Ken Shigematsu
God says that in place of immorality there should be something else, and that something else is thankfulness. ~ Heath Lambert
Purposes Of God quotes by Heath Lambert
God and death kind of resemble each other, because the only time a lot of people will try and talk to God is when someone's died. ~ Rachel Hunter
Purposes Of God quotes by Rachel Hunter
Just as I am, without one plea But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Purposes Of God quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
We want to believe in the essential, unchanging goodness of people, in their power to resist external pressures, in their rational appraisal and then rejection of situational temptations. We invest human nature with God-like qualities, with moral and rational faculties that make us both just and wise. We simplify the complexity of human experience by erecting a seemingly impermeable boundary between Good and Evil. ~ Philip G. Zimbardo
Purposes Of God quotes by Philip G. Zimbardo
I believe in God, Mozart and Beethoven, and likewise their disciples and apostles; - I believe in the Holy Spirit and the truth of the one, indivisible Art; - I believe that this Art proceeds from God, and lives within the hearts of all illumined men; - I believe that he who once has bathed in the sublime delights of this high Art, is consecrate to Her for ever, and never can deny Her; - I believe that through Art all men are saved. ~ Richard Wagner
Purposes Of God quotes by Richard Wagner
It is the will of God that becomes the passion of the believer ~ Sunday Adelaja
Purposes Of God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Love is proved the moment you let go of someone because they need you to. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Purposes Of God quotes by Shannon L. Alder
JANUARY 19 Expect the Blessings of God Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. PSALM 27:14 Sometimes you may feel discouraged, miserable, and depressed. In those times you need to take a close look at what's been going on in your mind. Isaiah 26:3 tells you when you keep your mind on the Lord you will have "perfect and constant peace." By focusing on the goodness of God and waiting, hoping, and expecting Him to encourage you and fill you with His peace and joy, you can overcome negative thoughts that drag you down. Think and speak positively. Begin believing right now that you are about to see God's goodness in your life. Wait, hope, and expect His blessings to be abundant in your life. ~ Joyce Meyer
Purposes Of God quotes by Joyce Meyer
Of course they were children, he knew that, and that wasn't it. They gave off a terrible glow. They had the blank glow of angels. They lived smack in the middle of reality and never gave it a minute's thought. They'd never felt like actors. They'd never been sick with irony. The long tunnel of their thoughts had never swallowed them. They'd never had restless sleepless nights, the urgent wordless unexplainable wrestling matches with the shadowy bands of soul-thieves. God damn it, Sault thought. Everybody gets to be happy except me. Saul heard Anne's cries. The sun was sweating all over his forehead. He felt faint, and Jewish, as usual. He turned on the radio. It happened to be tuned to a religious station and some choir was singing When Jesus Wept. ~ Charles Baxter
Purposes Of God quotes by Charles Baxter
Do you deny the Scriptures, madame? For is it not said that a woman should be silent and have no authority over man?'
'Of course I do not deny the Scriptures, Your Majesty.'
'Yet you are on of these 'réformés,' are you not?'
She met the King's gaze. 'I am, Your Majesty. But we do not deny the Scriptures. We believe they contain all that is necessary for the service of God and our own salvation.'
He frowned. 'Yet you argue against the one true Church, is that not so?'
She picked her words with care. 'The one true Church is made up of those faithful who agree to follow the word of God. ~ Kate Forsyth
Purposes Of God quotes by Kate Forsyth
The nature of light is to make you bright, the nature of dark is to make you blind ~ 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
Purposes Of God quotes by 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
One of the reasons so many singles are dissatisfied is that they're looking for a change in status to define their significance, rather than finding a purpose in life, granted by God, that gives them significance regardless of the status they're in. ~ Tony Evans
Purposes Of God quotes by Tony Evans
Africans believed that the woman's bare breast represented God, the circle of life and the moral cleanliness of human beings. ~ Kola Boof
Purposes Of God quotes by Kola Boof
At this time I choseas friends two little girls of my own age; but how shallow are the hearts of creatures! Oneof them had to stay at home for some months; while she was away I thought about her veryoften, and on her return I showed how pleased I was. However, all I got was a glance of indifference-my friendship was not appreciated. I felt this very keenly, and I no longer soughtan affection which had proved so inconstant. Nevertheless I still love my little school friend,and continue to pray for her, for God has given me a faithful heart, and when once I love,I love for ever. ~ Therese Of Lisieux
Purposes Of God quotes by Therese Of Lisieux
I would desire every divine to beware that he tell not the unsanctified, that whoever hath the least degree of love to God for himself, and not as a means to carnal ends, shall certainly be saved ; for he would certainly deceive many thousand miserable souls that should persuade them of this (670). ~ Richard Baxter
Purposes Of God quotes by Richard Baxter
Our grandsire, Adam, ere of Eve possesst,
Alone, and e'en in Paradise unblest,
With mournful looks the blissful scenes survey'd,
And wander'd in the solitary shade.
The Maker say, took pity, and bestow'd
Woman, the last, the best reserv'd of God. ~ Alexander Pope
Purposes Of God quotes by Alexander Pope
God never estimates what we give from impulse. We are given credit for what we determine in our hearts to give; for the giving that is governed by a fixed determination. The Spirit of God revolutionises our philanthropic instincts. Much of our philanthropy is simply the impulse to save ourselves an uncomfortable feeling. The Spirit of God alters all that. As saints our attitude towards giving is that we give for Jesus Christ's sake, and from no other motive. ~ Oswald Chambers
Purposes Of God quotes by Oswald Chambers
Fellow Americans, our duty is before us tonight. Let us go forward, determined to serve selflessly a vision of man with God, government for people, and humanity at peace. For it is now our task to tend and preserve, through the darkest and coldest nights, that "sacred fire of liberty" that President Washington spoke of two centuries ago, a fire that tonight remains a beacon to all oppressed of the world, shining forth from this kindly, pleasant, greening land we call America. ~ Ronald Reagan
Purposes Of God quotes by Ronald Reagan
In the gospel of Jesus, God is love. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous alike.3 At the fullness of time, He gave His greatest demonstration of love by sending His beloved Son so that men might not perish but have eternal life through Him.4 ~ Paul David Washer
Purposes Of God quotes by Paul David Washer
God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't. In this trial He makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down. ~ C.S. Lewis
Purposes Of God quotes by C.S. Lewis
I know that war and mayhem run in our blood. I refuse to believe that they must dominate our lives. We humans are animals, too, but animals with amazing powers of rationality, morality, society. We can use our strength and courage not to savage each other, but to defend our highest purposes. ~ Donella Meadows
Purposes Of God quotes by Donella Meadows
I woke to a bucket of ice water in my face.
"Sadie! Get up," Zia said.
"God!" I yelled. "Was that necessary?"
"No," admitted Zia. ~ Rick Riordan
Purposes Of God quotes by Rick Riordan
Oh my God, Rayna…I think something almost happened with Ben and me in Rio."
"What? Wait, back up. When? You mean, 'almost happened' like…what? What exactly almost happened?"
"I'm not sure," I said. "It all went really fast. I was feeling all these things, and he was looking at me like…like he was in that picture, and then…"
"Yeah??"
"I saw Sage."
"Ooooh," Rayna winced. "What did Ben do?"
"Nothing. I mean, I ran after Sage and…you know everything that happened then. We haven't even talked about it." I looked at her plaintively. "What do I do?"
"What do you want to do?"
I thought about it. "I don't know."
"Well…how do you feel? She asked.
"I don't know that either. I never even thought about Ben that way except for that split second in Rio, and even then I wasn't thinking of it seriously. And Sage…with Sage it's all I think about, but it's all jumbled up with the most insane things: dreams, and other lives, and other people's memories, and…I don't even know what's real."
Rayna took it all in.
"I love Ben," she said. "You know that. I think you guys could be great together. I also believe in soulmates. Not just as romantic flings, like the guys in Europe, but true soulmates, destined to be together forever because they're perfect for each other. Are you and Sage true soulmates? I don't know, but I do know you're cheating yourself if you don't at least try to find out."
"How do I find that out, Rayna?"
"I want ~ Hilary Duff
Purposes Of God quotes by Hilary Duff
As a political movement, feminism seeks to transform society by challenging and changing social institutions. Religion, on the other hand, seeks first to transform individuals through a personal relationship with God, which then results in a desire to work for the transformation of society. ~ Helen LaKelly Hunt
Purposes Of God quotes by Helen LaKelly Hunt
Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God ~ Mother Teresa
Purposes Of God quotes by Mother Teresa
A tension or difficulty can signal the approach of a new grace of God. But it has to be looked at wisely and humanly. ~ Jean Vanier
Purposes Of God quotes by Jean Vanier
Whales have been evolving for thirty million years. To our one million. A sperm whale's brain is seven times the size of mine ... The great size of his body has little to do with the great size of his brain, other than as a place to keep it. I have What If fantasies ... What if the catalyst or the key to understanding creation lay somewhere in the immense mind of the whale? ... Some species go for months without eating anything. Just completely idle.. So they have this incredible mental apparatus and no one has the least notion what they do with it. Lilly says that the most logical supposition, based on physiological and ecological evidence, is that they contemplate the universe ... Suppose God came back from wherever it is he's been and asked us smilingly if we'd figure it out yet. Suppose he wanted to know if it had finally occurred to us to ask the whale. And then he sort of looked around and he said, By the way, where are the whales? ~ Cormac McCarthy
Purposes Of God quotes by Cormac McCarthy
God is top predator in the pyramid of food chain. ~ Toba Beta
Purposes Of God quotes by Toba Beta
The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His. ~ Francis Chan
