God Quote by Frederick Buechner — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To be commanded to love God at all, let alone in the wilderness, is like being commanded to be well when we are sick, to sing for joy when we are dying of thirst, to run when our legs are broken. But this is the first and great commandment nonetheless. Even in the wilderness - especially in the wilderness - you shall love him.”

“It is not objective proof of God's existence that we want but, whether we use religious language for it or not, the experience of God's presence.”

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough.”

“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.”

“Like Adam, we have all lost Paradise; and yet we carry Paradise around inside of us in the form of a longing for, almost a memory of, a blessedness that is no more, or the dream of a blessedness that may someday be again.”

“In seasons of hiddenness our sense of value is disrupted, stripped of what "others" affirmed us to be. In this season God intends to give us an unshakable identity in Him, that no amount of adoration nor rejection can alter.”

“God deals us all different hands. How we play 'em is up to us.”

“It is not for you, it is for the God within you, if you know Him then it is for you.”

“God wants man, whom he has created and in whose heart he has so profoundly entrenched a love for life, to do all he can to preseve an existence that is sometimes so painful, but always so dear to him.”

“Grace is God-given power to live differently.”

“It used to be thought that hell was a lack of God, but hell is a lack of death.”
