Devotion Quotes

“The most significant competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him. It is easier to serve than to be entangled in the things of the world, but we must take note that the one aim of the call of God is the satisfaction of God, not a call to do something for Him. We are not sent to battle for God but to be used by God in His battling’s.”

“There are three steps to follow on a daily basis to go through and last a tough, challenging, phase in Life: 1. Be expectationless. 2. Soak in bhakti – devotion, offer yourself and everything that you do to a higher energy. 3. Deep dive into what you love doing – your bliss, your purpose or even just your work. If your current circumstances prevent you from doing this, choose the next best activity, whatever else you can do, in this realm to practice immersion. There is no order to following these steps. Just do them daily. Let them consume your waking hours. Celebrate the inner peace and joy that you experience.”

“Why do they do what they do with such regularity, such mindfulness, such devotion? They do it because it is their sacred work. They do it because not to do it would be to deny what they know is theirs to manage and care about. The right action does not depend upon having a right outcome. It depends on taking the action because that is the action that rises before you in the moment with all its grace and power and majesty -- and because it demands to be done. The action is all.”

“He wanted me to know he thought I was getting away with something wrong. I thought about the time Billy was sick and said he wanted strawberries. How Paul asked him, "Do you want them cold or room temperature? Cooked down or raw? Narrow it down, because whatever you want, I'll get it for you." Anything Billy wanted, Paul got, whatever it took. And this pathetic excuse of a man had no idea what that kind of devotion meant, and he didn't deserve an answer. The denial of real love-- *that* was the perversion.”

“God is about love. But it is a perfect, pure love. There must be some justice in that. Order. We’re supposed to do right, not wrong. Like you said, we are made bad, Ray. And that is why it is so important to be good. At all times. Being good requires sacrifice. People can’t just do what they want all the time, occasionally do some nice things for others on their own terms, call themselves loving, and still join God in heaven. You don’t get to make up the rules.”

“Perhaps after that tragedy, she had no heart left. Or perhaps it was still there, but small. However, she had decided to love that person in whatever way she could inside that small heart.”

“She knew how foolish her revenge sounded, but she wasn’t as virtuous as to abandon the hatred she had devoted her heart to. Dia couldn’t rinse her hatred, nor walk blindfolded—a path the vast majority would probably opt to choose. It wasn’t that easy for her.”
