Heading 6

“The Lord gave the wonderful promise of the free use of His Name with the Father in conjunction with doing His works. The disciple who lives only for Jesus' work and Kingdom, for His will and honor, will be given the power to appropriate the promise. Anyone grasping the promise only when he wants something very special for himself will be disappointed, because he is making Jesus the servant of his own comfort. But whoever wants to pray the effective prayer of faith because he needs it for the work of the Master will learn it, because he has made himself the servant of his Lord's interests.”

With Christ in the School of Prayer

Andrew Murray

“Of all the times you've undressed me in my fantasies, I never remember feeling this... unfulfilled." "Please, Morpheus," I beg upon hearing Jeb stir in the background. "Ah, but those delectable words," Morpheus says with a provocative smirk, "those are always in the fantasy." I glare at him. "You're unbelievable." "And that sentiment is reserved for the end.”

Unhinged

A.G. Howard

“You risked your life, but what else have you ever risked? Have you risked disapproval? Have you ever risked economic security? Have you ever risked a belief? I see nothing particularly courageous about risking one's life. So you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time. Right? You get your reward and suffer no earthly consequences. That's not courage. Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness. Real courage is risking one's clichés.”

Another Roadside Attraction

Tom Robbins

“Live hard, love harder. Chase dreams, seek adventures … capture moments. Live beautifully.”

A Thousand Boy Kisses

Tillie Cole

“You swore you loved me, and laughed and warned me that you would not love me forever. I did not hear you. You were speaking in a language I did not understand. Never, never, I can conceive of a love which is able to foresee its own termination. Love is its own eternity. Love is in every moment of its being: all time. It is the only glimpse we are permitted of what eternity is. So I did not hear you. The words were nonsense.”

The Ides of March

Thornton Wilder

“The trouble with life was that you didn’t get a chance to practice before doing it for real.”

Pyramids

Terry Pratchett

“God used my year of waiting not to frustrate me, or abandon me, but to draw me into a closer relationship with Him.”

Waiting with God

Suzanne Elizabeth Anderson

“If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it.”

Gregor the Overlander

Suzanne Collins
