Quotes About God

Perdemos perspectiva cuando perdemos de vista las promesas de Dios.
~ Mark Batterson
You don't have to live in fear that God is going to take away what is most important to you. After all, Isaac was God's gift to Abraham. But if the gift ever becomes more important than the Gift Giver, then the very thing God gave you to serve His purposes is undermining His plan for your life. God is no longer the End All and Be All. And when God becomes the means to some other end, it's the beginning of the end spiritually because you have inverted the gospel.

~ Mark Batterson
You can't play the man if you don't pray the price. That's how God turns the heart. You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. And prayer is what turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destiny of their children.

God is the Composer. Your life is His musical score. God is the Artist. Your life is His canvas. God is the Architect. Your life is His blueprint. God is the Writer. You are His book. God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him; God is also great because nothing is too small.

If we don't listen to everything God has to say, we eventually won't hear anything He has to say. And we probably need to hear most what we want to hear least. But this I know for sure: His tone of voice is always loving. Sometimes it's tough love in the form of rebuke or discipline, but it's loving, nonetheless.
~ Mark Batterson
Orar con persistencia es pedirle a Dios que nos haga la vida más difícil. Mientras mayor es tu persistencia al orar, más tendrás que trabajar. Y eso es una bendición de Dios.

There is nothing God loves more than keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling dreams. That is who He is. That is what He does.

Everybody wants a miracle; we just don't want to be in a situation where we need one. You can't have one without the other.

It's about training ourselves to see those problems as opportunities so God can intervene.
