O my God, teach me to be generous
to serve you as you deserve to be served
to give without counting the cost
to fight without fear of being wounded
to work without seeking rest
and to spend myself without expecting any reward
but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will.
Amen
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive…that is where God is.
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.
Ignatius of Loyola (Hermit, 1491 – 1556)
But the more we search the Scriptures, the more we perceive, in this doctrine, the fundamental truth of the gospel – that truth which gives to redemption its character, and to all other truths their real power.
John Nelson Darby (Bible Teacher, 1800 – 1882)
The great guardian principle of all conduct in the church of God is personal responsibility to the Lord.
John Nelson Darby (Bible Teacher, 1800 – 1882)
Nothing is more prominently brought forward in the New Testament than
the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Nelson Darby (Bible Teacher, 1800 – 1882)
The Lord Jesus died for the ungodly. He was obedient at all costs : He bore everything, and went down into the dust of death, man’s hatred, God’s desertion, and Satan’s power ; we find Him there at the cost of everything. Everything that was against us was done away. By one man’s obedience many are made righteous.
John Nelson Darby (Bible Teacher, 1800 – 1882)
