"To be with
God is really to be involved in some enormous, overwhelming desire, and
joy, and power which you cannot control, which controls you." -- James Baldwin Nobody
Knows my Name

"Drummed into me from an
early age was the fact that God was the Father, which led to my thinking
of God as somebody home only at the weekends. Thinking about God as a
Father also meant thinking of Him as a distant sort, One who wasn't to
be disturbed because He was busy. One who has concerned with rules and
punishments, and One having a short temper." -Regina Barecca To Much of a Good Thing is Wonderful

"If you lose your reason, you lose it into the hands of God....It’s the
only place where anything is safe. And when you’re dead it’s only what’s
there you’ll have. Nothing else." -- Elizabeth Goudge The Scent of Water

"Loving
God isn’t any different from loving a man -- or a child.
It’s wanting to be with Him, to be near Him....It’s wanting to
protect Him from yourself." -- Graham Greene The
Power and the Glory

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this
or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to
know God’s thoughts, the rest are details." -Albert
Einstein,

country when I reflect that God is just." --Thomas Jefferson Notes on Virginia 1784

"...a
man cannot by the craft and flattery of his tongue lay hold of God while
his heart is far away. No,
for since God is spirit and truth, a man can only draw near to Him by
sincerity, by willing to be holy, as He is holy: by purity of heart." -- Soren Kierkegaard, Purity
of Heart
|
| "Father in Heaven!
What is man without Thee! What
is all that he knows, vast accumulation though it be, but a chipped
fragment if he does not know Thee!
What is all his striving, could it encompass the World, but a
half-finished work if he does not know Thee: Thee the One, who art one
thing and who art all!" -- Soren Kierkegaard Purity of Heart

"God is never known
incidentally or accidentally.
He is known in that He makes Himself known." |

"Cure yourself of the condition of bothering about how you look to other people. Be concerned only with how you appear to God, with the idea God has of you." --Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo |
