Growth In Grace Quotes

“We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon, Gleanings Among the Sheaves

“We learn to tread more warily, to trust less to our own strength, to have lower thoughts of ourselves, and higher thoughts of Him; in which two last particulars, I apprehend what the Scripture means by a growth of grace does properly consist. Both are increasing in the lively Christian—every day shows him more of his own heart, and more of the power, sufficiency, compassion, and grace of his adorable Redeemer; but neither will be complete till we get to Heaven.”
― John Newton, Cardiphonia or the Utterance of the Heart

“Pain never stops sounding the alarm; she never falls asleep on the job. At the moment we shut down our hearts, or begin entertaining harmful beliefs as ultimate truth, or interpret our experiences in a way that hinders our evolution, Pain starts poking us…just a little at first but if we ignore her, she'll start clanging cymbals in our ears until we acknowledge her presence.

Pain is a message, a signal, an alert. Pain is Truth's formless, eternal Sentinel. Pain is indeed the Great Teacher, and she works in concert with Truth to purify consciousness and allow transmutation.”
― Dana Hutton, The Art of Becoming: Creating Abiding Fulfillment in an Unfulfilled World

“If your storm has not passed chances are there are some lessons that you have not learned. ”
― Germany Kent

“Finding yourself takes concentrating the Mind and freeing the Soul. Finding what is takes freeing the Mind and concentrating the Soul.”
― J. Earp

“We are not subjected to Death, Murder, Killing, Tragedy, Agony nor Miseries of Hells", not Bone folded Fools". We fold , Unfold and Stretches .”
― Ben Jr Grey

“Keep moving, no need to ever look back- walk.
Feel the earth under your feet with the feelings that once felt like defeat, leaving meaning in the imprints of your Souls.
Walk, with the Universe on your back. Walk, journey, trust and receive. All while walking into infinity with me. There is nowhere to be. You are here with me. Feel my embrace and feel the echoes of eternities grace. Walk with me for there is no place to be except here with me.”
― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
