God Quote by Roman Payne — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Ô, Wanderess, Wanderess”

“I like the posture, but not the yoga.”

“With the need for the self in the time of another / I left my seaport grim and dear / knowing good work could be made / in the state governed by both Hope and Despair.”

“It’s not that we have to quit”

“Be there a picnic for the devil,”

“Did I live the spring I’d sought?”

“Go on, my dear," urges the snake. "Take one. Hear it? 'Pluck me,' it's saying. That big, shiny red one. 'Pluck me, pluck me now and pluck me hard.' You know you want to.”

“God sees God everywhere.”

“It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.”

“Bible stories are like Grimms' diary tales when it comes to kids. Bad stuff always happens to them.”

“Part of what we pick up in looking at Jesus in the gospel is a way of viewing the whole world. That worldview informs all our values and deeply shapes our thinking and decision-making. Another part of what we absorb is greater confidence in Jesus' counsel and his promises. This has its own powerful effect on what we fear and desire and choose. Another part of what we take up from beholding the glory of Christ is greater delight in his fellowship and deeper longing to see him in heaven. This has its own liberating effect from the temptations of this world. All these have their own peculiar way of changing us into the likeness of Christ. Therefore, we should not think that pursuing likeness to Christ has no other components than just looking at Jesus. Looking at Jesus produces holiness along many different paths.”
