God Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“God closed the doors, because He wanted you to realize that He tears down walls. God didn’t move the mountain, because He wanted you to understand that the view from the top more than made up for the climb. God didn’t take away your pain, because that would rob you of the growth that will equip you to overcome all pain. God didn’t save your relationship, because some things need to die in order for better things to be born. God didn’t grant you your dream, because God’s not going to let you be held captive to the mediocrity of the ‘possible,’ when He stands ready to help you break the back of the impossible. God didn’t give you a lot of the things that you asked for, because He wants to save you from the smallness of your requests so that He can bless you with the fullness of Himself. No…God doesn’t always do things the way that we want them done. And thank God that He doesn’t.”

“It is difficult to assume that nature itself created that which was beyond itself and then integrated such abilities into itself.”

“When we choose to stay down, we are in reality confusing wisdom with cowardice. When we choose to stand back up, we are using wisdom to overcome cowardice.”

“Christmas is the door that was ingeniously designed for walls that were not built for doors.”

“Why is it that we don’t worry about a compass until we’re lost in a wilderness of our own making?”

“A time is coming when the whole round world will know that God reigns and that God is Love, when hell and heaven, life and death, sin and salvation, will be read and understood aright at last.”

“Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.”

“The enemy will try to place some mountains to stop your move. When you keep going, he will try to stop you, because he knows that when you reach the mountaintop, you will experience the power of God; however, you must recall, you were meant to soar.”

“I regard myself as the most wretched of all men, stinking and covered with sores, and as one who has committed all sorts of crimes against his King. Overcome by remorse, I confess all my wickedness to Him, ask His pardon and abandon myself entirely to Him to do with as He will. But this King, filled with goodness and mercy, far from chastising me, lovingly embraces me, makes me eat at His table, serves me with His own hands, gives me the keys of His treasures and treats me as His favorite. He talks with me and is delighted with me in a thousand and one ways; He forgives me and relieves me of my principle bad habits without talking about them; I beg Him to make me according to His heart and always the more weak and despicable I see myself to be, the more beloved I am of God.”
