May the peace of God be with you, she says, her voice low, even in the midst of trouble. Why would it? I say softly, so no one else can hear. After all I’ve done... It isn’t about you, she says. It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.
Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what's been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it's been full of sorrow or anger, or even when you're questioning why terrible things have to happen.
A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man
It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.
Sometimes you can see things happen right in front of your eyes and still jump to the wrong conclusions.
Men trust God by risking rejection. Women trust God by waiting.
You can get a thousand no's from people, and only one yes from God.
We almost made it to thirty seconds without an insult. I think we set a new record.
I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of attitude?
The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive.
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.
There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.
