“We fail in the work of grace and love when there is too much of us and not enough of God.”

“Fear is always with us: that we are not good enough or strong enough, and so will fail; that we will be hurt. Fear that what we love will be taken from us. Fear of dying, even fear of God, or of no God. But God surprises us by giving us strength to bear what we must; by giving us joy when we think that nothing but sadness is possible.”

“In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.”

“God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way.”

“Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it”

“When all shall fail us, then God will take care of us, and then all will not fail us since we shall have God.”
