Finding your purpose in life is one thing, but keeping that hope front and center requires a different practice. The struggles of a Christian believer are diverse and will bring them to their greatest selves. This simple truth, however, is difficult to accept once the tides of life rise. Getting through trying moments might call for wise words from those on your path. Here are some of the best quotes we found.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“God does not give us everything we want, but he does fulfill his promises, leading us along the … straightest paths to himself.”
Alistair Begg
“There is no one who is insignificant in the purpose of God.”
Mother Teresa
“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
Max Lucado
“God never said that the journey would be easy, but he did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.”
Elisabeth Elliot
“If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look little or big.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving“
Matt Chandler
“The greater your knowledge of [god’s grace], the more likely you’re to praise Him in the storm.”
Reflecting on Life and Happiness
The obstacles we face in life are often a reflection of our true potential. “What obscures the way becomes the way.” Working to find perspective in trying moments should be a practice of yours. None of us can foresee the future, but we can be reminded of what the winding roads of life are like. Therefore, continue to find inspiration by reflecting on the quotes above.
