God Quote by Thomas C. Oden — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Our intellect is not intended to be an end in itself, but only a means to the very mind of God.”

“In life, you will experience afflictions, but you will also experience victory if you believe in the Almighty King.”

“God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action.”

“We're always taught that God wants us to always only say "I can't do this without You God" , "Whatever your will is God, that's my will too" but God says He is a father, and there is no good father who wants his children to have no will and to think that they can't stand on their own two feet. So maybe what you should be saying is "I can do it" and "I have a strong will, I know what I want." When you think God's left you and wants you to be sitting like a duck, maybe He's actually believing in you, teaching you how to fly.”

“All I know is that the closer I get to God, the deeper I get into the Bible, and the heavier the burden seems on my shoulders.”

“For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God.”
