Quote by George MacDonald

“Love and marriage are of the Father's most powerful means for the making of his foolish little ones into sons and daughters. But so unlike in many cases are the immediate consequences to those desired and expected, that it is hard for not a few to believe that he is anywhere looking after their fate--caring about them at all. And the doubt would be a reasonable one, if the end of things was marriage. But the end is life--that we become the children of God; after which, all things can and will go their grand, natural course; the heart of the Father will be content for his children, and the hearts of the children will be content in their Father.”

“Kuna watoto wa Mungu na kuna watoto watakatifu wa Mungu. Watoto wa Mungu ni wale waliobatizwa na kumkaribisha Kristo kama kiongozi wa maisha yao, na hata wale ambao hawajabatizwa na kumkaribisha Yesu kama kiongozi wa maisha yao kwa maana ya uumbaji, wakati watoto watakatifu wa Mungu ni mitume na manabii wa kweli.”

“If we are children of God, we are not so in any childish way or inferior way. The point of grace is that we are no longer mere creatures, mere subordinates or servants or slaves. We are also no longer children in the sense of being immature.... We remain creatures, yes; we remain God's servants, one might even say his slaves, but Jesus no longer calls us servants! We remain creatures, yet we know the intimacy that comes from the Son sharing his mind with us. Our obedience is free. We have the dignity of being a friend of our truest friend.”
