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

“The gift of Christmas is the answer to everything for which there is no answer.”

“We look around us and we find ourselves confused as to why the world has fallen into such deep darkness. And standing in this descending darkness, what we need to realize is that the farther we move from God, the darker everything gets. And no light of man can illuminate that kind of darkness.”

“If there’s no answer to your question, it’s because you’ve looked in the places that have no ability to ask the question.”

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

“Christmas was the decision that man’s sin would no longer be given permission to destroy the men who commit it.”

“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.”

“The saints, too, had wandering minds. The saints, too, had constantly to recall their constantly wandering mind-child home. They became saints because they continued to go after the little wanderer, like the Good Shepherd.”

“The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.”

“God uses nobodies that will trust Him implicitly and fully.”

“God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.”

“I was insanely jealous of Lucille. More jealous than I'd ever been of anyone in my entire life. Because she truly meant it. All I could think was, why can't I be as stupid as Lucille? Why can't I blame all my successes and all my failures on The Lord Jesus Christ Almighty? I would be so fucking happy if I lived like that.”
