In the stillness of things, when one looks at the stars shining bright in the dark sky, God speaks to us in that silence.

God has given us the DNA of righteousness. We are saints. Nothing we do will make us more righteous than we already are. Nothing we do will alter this reality. God knows our DNA. He knows that we are "Christ in me."
-John S. Lynch
The saving work of Christ includes deliverance from the death penalty for sin in one’s past life, the power of sin in his present life, and the very presence of sin in the future life.
-Henry Morris
God does not comfort us by showing us the future, but by showing us Himself.
-Tim Challies

-Louisa May Alcott
“God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). This doesn’t mean we should give only when we’re feeling cheerful. The cheerfulness often comes during and after the act of obedience, not before it. So don’t wait until you feel like giving—it could be a long wait! Just give and watch the joy follow.

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
-C.S. Lewis
Bible commentator R. C. H.

-John MacArthur
Expecting perfection from ourselves or others is not what holiness is about.
