God S Grace Quotes

“Dear God

Please take away my pain and despair of yesterday and any unpleasant memories and replace them with Your glorious promise of new hope. Show me a fresh HS-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. I ask You for the mind of Christ so I can discern Your voice from the voice of my past. I pray that former rejection and deep hurts will not color what I see and hear now.

Help me to see all the choices I have ahead of me that can alter the direction of my life. I ask You to empower me to let go of the painful events and heartaches that would keep me bound. Thank You for Your forgiveness that You have offered to me at such a great price. Pour it into my heart so I can relinquish bitterness hurts and disappointments that have no place in my life. Please set me free to forgive those who have sinned against me and caused me pain and also myself. Open my heart to receive Your complete forgiveness and amazing grace. You have promised to bind up my wounds Psa 147:3 and restore my soul Psa 23:3 .

Help me to relinquish my past surrender to You my present and move to the future You have prepared for me. I ask You to come into my heart and make me who You would have me to be so that I might do Your will here on earth. I thank You Lord for all that’s happened in my past and for all I have become through those experiences. I pray You will begin to gloriously renew my present.”

“I love to walk. Walking is a spiritual journey and a reflection of living. Each of us must determine which path to take and how far to walk; we must find our own way, what is right for one may not be for another. There is no single right way to deal with late stage cancer, to live life or approach death, or to walk an old mission trail.”
― Edie Littlefield Sundby, The Mission Walker: I was given three months to live...

“If humanism were right in declaring that man is born to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature. It cannot the unrestrained enjoyment of everyday life. It cannot be the search for the best ways to obtain material goods and then cheerfully get the most out of them. It has to be the fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one's life journey may become an experience of moral growth, so that one may leave life a better human being than one started it. It is imperative to review the table of widespread human values. Its present incorrectness is astounding. It is not possible that assessment of the President's performance be reduced to the question of how much money one makes or of unlimited availability of gasoline. Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“We should get jerseys, cause we make a good team; but yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league.”
― Relient K, Relient K Five Score and Seven Years Ago 5

― Lailah GiftyAkita

“Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. […] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).”
― Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

“Smiling face of every little girl is the signature of God’s presence.”
― Amit Ray

“Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.”

― Debatrayee Banerjee

“If you want to sin, God will allow you to sin, even if you are destroyed. God hopes the road to destruction will bring you back because he is always pursuing you. He is always wooing you.
Who bears the cost of this? The father and the older son. God and the people who love you.
Even if we want something that is bad for us, God allows it. Grace allows for this.
“Coercion doesn’t produce love. Grace does.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“Grace isn’t transactional. It can't be earned, predicted, or managed.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“Grace is a hard word to understand. We say it is by grace we are saved, but then we continue to strive to earn God’s love.
We are drawn more to karma because we do understand it. Karma is based on the principle of cause and effect—what you do, good or bad, determines what you receive in return, either in this life or future lives as in reincarnation. Karma focuses on personal responsibility and justice, where actions have consequences. Karma is you get what you deserve.
This is all transactional. You have some control in this. You also get trapped in the wondering of when you are good enough.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“Grace is not karma.
“With grace you realize you are not the most intelligent creature in the universe.
Grace is God’s unearned, undeserved love and mercy, given freely to humanity despite sin. Not based on human effort but on God’s kindness—especially seen in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for salvation. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Grace is out of our control because God has designed for him to do the work to remove our sins from us.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“Grace is God refusing to abandon you and continuing to pursue you.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“The difference between grace and love is: ‘Love is more a yearning and desperation of God to have us around. Grace is because of this desperation he allows us to stay around.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love

“God is not the patriarch who stays home, doesn’t move, and expects his children to come to him, apologize for their bad behavior, beg for forgiveness, and promise to do better.

It’s the opposite.

He leaves the house, ignores his dignity by running toward them, pays no heed to apologies or smells and promises of change, and starts the party. God is always on the giving side, trying to repair the relationship.

God is a God who always says let’s start here.

You don’t have to get better for God. God doesn’t try to find you when you are good enough. No. God says, ‘You’re here—and I’ll meet you right where you are. From there, we’ll grow together.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, The Story of Two Lost Sons: Finding Grace and Restoration Through God’s Lavish Love
