"When you have no helpers, see your helpers in God. When you have many helpers, see God in all your helpers. When you have nothing but God, see all in God. When you have everything, see God in everything. Under all conditions, stay thy heart only on the Lord."

~ Mr. Spurgeon

"Jesus said, 'And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself' (John 12:32). When we preach our own experiences, people may be interested, but it awakens no real sense of need. But once Jesus Christ is “lifted up,” the Spirit of God creates an awareness of the need for Him. The creative power of the redemption of God works in the souls of men only through the preaching of the gospel. It is never the sharing of personal experiences that saves people, but the truth of redemption. 'The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life' (John 6:63)."

~ Oswald Chambers

[Madre]

"For three things I thank God every day of my life:

thanks that he has vouchsafed to me the knowledge of His works,

deep thanks that He has set in my darkness the lamp of faith;

deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to — a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song."

~ Helen Keller

"The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."

[Madre]

"God had one Son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering."

~ Augustine

"The breaking of the alabaster box and the anointing of the Lord filled the house with the odor, with the sweetest odor. Everyone could smell it. Whenever you meet someone who has really suffered; been limited, gone through things for the Lord, willing to be imprisoned by the Lord, just being satisfied with Him and nothing else, immediately you scent the fragrance. There is a savour of the Lord. Something has been crushed, something has been broken, and there is a resulting odor of sweetness."

~ Watchman Nee

[Madre]

“The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.”

~ Dorothy Day

[Madre]

"'Stand still”'– keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice; and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, “Go forward.”

~ Mr. Spurgeon
