Samuel Rutherford
“Faint not; the miles to heaven are but few and short.”
Samuel Rutherford

Ignatius of Antioch
“It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name...Come fire, cross, battling with wild beasts, wrenching of bones, mangling of limbs, crushing of my whole body, cruel tortures of the Devil--Only let me get to Jesus Christ!”
Ignatius

Cathy Gohlke
“What would Jesus do with this gift of writing, this God-given love of writing? What would He write?”
Cathy Gohlke, Band of Sisters

Elizabeth Payson Prentiss
“Nay then, but let me give to Him not what I value least, but what I prize and delight in most.”
Elizabeth Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward

Anne Lamott
“A nun I know once told me she kept begging God to take her character defects away from her. After years of this prayer, God finally got back to her: I'm not going to take anything away from you, you have to give it to Me.”
Anne Lamott, Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers
