“Refuse the anxiety. When you borrow trouble against what might be, you neglect the moment you have now to enjoy. The man who worries about what will next be happening to him loses this moment in dread of the next, and poisons the next with pre-judgment.”

“The great reality is God, who is the author of that lower and dependent reality which makes up the sum of created things, including ourselves. God has objective existence independent of and apart from any notions which we may have concerning Him. The worshipping heart does not create its object. It finds Him here when it wakes from its moral slumber in the morning of its regeneration.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“You have nothing with which to bargain. You can offer Jesus only one thing—belief. He simply asks, “Do you believe in Me?”
― Cary Schmidt, Real Christianity: Embrace the Grace, Endure the Struggle, Enjoy the Relationship

“Time isn’t just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.”
― Ravi Zacharias, The Lotus and the Cross: Jesus Talks with Buddha
