“The shepherds - simple souls - came to adore the Infant Savior. Mary rejoiced at seeing their homage and willing offerings they made to her Jesus... How happy is the loving soul when it has found Jesus with Mary, His Mother! They who know the Tabernacle where He dwells, they who receive Him into their souls, know that His conversation is full of divine sweetness, His consolation ravishing, His peace superabundant, and the familiarity of His love and His Heart ineffable” KnowsHeartMadeSoulMotherFoundJesusSimpleSeeingDivineWillingConversationSaviorOfferingMarySacramentsAdoreSweetnessConsolationHis LoveInfantFamiliarityShepherdsHomageIneffable Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.” WholeJesusChristSinWalksLove IsBehindsKindnessDisciplinePerceptionEmbraceMaturityGuidanceWorldlyHis LoveScopeBe Encouraged Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“If Jesus is Lord then the only right response to him is surrender and obedience. He is Savior and he is Lord. We cannot separate his demands from his love. We cannot dissect Jesus and relate only to the parts that we like or need. Christ died so that we could be forgiven for managing our own lives. It would be impossible to thank Christ for dying and yet to continue running our own lives.” IfsNeedsWould BeRunningJesusChristChristianityLordImpossibleDyingDemandDiedResponseSurrenderChristian LifeRelateObedienceSaviorForgivenHis Love Author:Rebecca Pippert
“There are Christians who think and speak altogether too much about the power of Satan. They think of their adversary, they pray about him, they talk about him, and he looms up greater and greater in their imagination. It is true that Satan is a powerful being; but, thank God, we have a mighty Saviour, who cast out the evil one from heaven. Satan is pleased when we magnify his power. Why not talk of Jesus? Why not magnify His power and His love?” ThinkingChristianEvilJesusSpeakHeavenImaginationPowerfulGreaterToo MuchPrayingCastsSatanWhy NotThank GodHis LoveAdversariesSaviour Book:The Conflict of the Ages Story, Vol. 3.

“You are not called to believe in your love to God, but in God's love to you! Do not argue, 'I cannot love God! I have striven to my uttermost to do so, but have failed in all my endeavors, until in despair I have abandoned the thought and relinquished the attempt.' Be it so- no effort of your own can strike a spark of love to God from your heart. Nor does God demand the task at your hands. All that He requires of you is faith in His love, as embodied and expressed in Jesus Christ to poor sinners.” BelieveHeartDoeHandsJesusChristPoorEffortDemandDespairJesus ChristTasksStrikesArguingGod LoveSinnerEndeavorSparksAbandonedBelieve In YouHis LoveGod's Love Author:Octavius Winslow

“Many Christians backslide...They are unable to stand against the temptations of the world, or of their old nature. They strive to do their best to fight against sin, and to serve God, but they have no strength. They have never really grasped the secret: The Lord Jesus will every day from heaven continue His work in me. But on one condition-the soul must give Him time each day to impart His love and his grace. Time alone with the Lord Jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power.” WorldGivingSoulChristianFightingJesusHeavenGrowthPrayerSinSecretLordGraceConditionsStriveTemptationEach DayServing GodIndispensableHis LoveMe AloneImpartAlone Time Author:Andy Murray
“Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.” MeanSoulJesusChristQualityHolyJesus ChristDrawingPurityHolinessHis LoveGodlinessSanctification Book:My Utmost for His Highest Source: My Utmost for His Highest
