God Quote by Rachel Gillig — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“But is it godly to punish your subjects for questioning you? Is it motherly to demand resolute devotion?”

“I fled Him down the nights and down the days”

“The perplexity, the potential— God’s own crucible was not for angels.”

“True happiness is not found in any other reward than that of being united with God. If I seek some other reward besides God Himself, I may get my reward but I cannot be happy.”

“God does not reject supplications, but there are supplications that are answered quickly, and there are supplications that are answered late, between forty years. God is very close to believers.”

“A God who could make good children as easily a bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave is angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell--mouths mercy, and invented hell--mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to worship him!”
