“So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, for faith is born of the sense of need. But when we compare ourselves with Jesus Christ, and through Him, with God, we are humbled to the dust, and then faith is born, for there is nothing left to do but to trust to the mercy of God.” NeedsHumansLongSelfJesusLeftChristBornRoomsJudgingJesus ChristMercySatisfactionDustPlentyCompareComparisonSelf-satisfactionMercy Of God Author:William Barclay
“To multitudes of sufferers on beds of pain and languishing, Jesus has been the great physician to-day; in many a weeping circle around precious dust, He has been the Divine comforter, and the tears have almost ceased to flow as this Jesus has touched the bier. Dying lips have whispered His name, and the valley of the shadow has been illumined as with the glory from the celestial shores.” Has BeensPainJesusNamesDyingTearsDivineBedGloryShadowFlowLipsCirclesDustTouchedShoreValleysPhysiciansMultitudesWeepingCelestialSufferersComforter Author:Abbott Eliot Kittredge
“I use the word "god" a lot, and I'm not sure if I know what I believe god is. I don't believe that when we die, that's it. It's almost like a logical faith. I logically don't believe that all this stuff [surrounding us] is generated from dust. But I'm also not like "Jesus Christ came down to save us." It's almost selfish to think that human beings, on this plane of reality, are the end of it.” IfsThinkingKnowsBelieveHumansEndsUseRealityDiesJesusI BelieveStuffChristHuman BeingsJesus ChristDon't BelieveSelfishDustPlanesNot SureLogicalBelieve In God Author:Blake Butler
