Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“There is a very real danger of our drifting into an attitude of contempt for humanity... The man who despises another will never be able to make anything of him. Nothing that we despise in the other man is entirely absent from ourselves. We often expect from others more than we are willing to do ourselves... We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. The only profitable relationship to others—and especially to our weaker brethren—is one of love, and that means the will to hold fellowship with them. God himself did not despise humanity, but became man for men's sake.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“I believe that God will give us all the strength we need to help us to resist in all times of distress. But He never gives it in advance, lest we should rely on ourselves and not on Him alone.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Paul Washer
“Where God is truly known, all mankind becomes as nothing.”
Paul Washer

J.C. Ryle
“Let us feel convinced, whatever others may say, that holiness is happiness, and that the man who gets through life most comfortably is the sanctified man... They have solid comforts which the world can neither give nor take away.”
J.C. Ryle, Holiness

Macarius of Egypt
“Abba Macarius was asked, ‘How should one pray?’ The old man said, ‘There is no need at all to make long discourses; it is enough to stretch out one’s hands and say, “Lord, as you will, and as you know, have mercy.” And if the conflict grows fiercer say, “Lord, help!” He knows very well what we need and he shows us his mercy.”
Macarius of Egypt
