God Quote by Lailah Gifty Akita — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I am loved more deeply abroad than in my country of birth. What a beautiful thing to treasure at heart.”

“How can we abstain from sexual immorality? Only God can give us the grace.”

“Circumstances helps a man to develop his character.”

“Hang on! God will be thy strength in any act of your pursuit.”

“Never be afraid to travel on a new path.”

“There is no assurance like the word of God.”

“The Lord will empower you to climb various mountains. When you pray, He will see you through your triumphant days.”

“In some ways I admire Aunt Helen's unwavering certainty in God's divine plan. It must be comforting, to have faith like that. To believe so concretely that there's someone—something—out there watching guard, keeping us safe, testing us only with what we can handle. I've never believed in anything the way Aunt Helen believes in God.”

“God's grace is not defined as God being forgiving to us even though we sin. Grace is when God is a source of wholeness, which makes up for my failings. My failings hurt me and others and even the planet, and God's grace to me is that my brokenness is not the final word ... it's that God makes beautiful things out of even my own shit. Grace isn't about God creating humans and flawed beings and then acting all hurt when we inevitably fail and then stepping in like the hero to grant us grace - like saying, "Oh, it's OK, I'll be the good guy and forgive you." It's God saying, "I love the world too much to let your sin define you and be the final word. I am a God who makes all things new.”
