I enjoy reading quotes from people that make me think about my relationship with God. Perhaps you might be encouraged by one of the following quotes. This is not a recommendation of anyone, as I don’t know who all these people are, but their quotes touched me:
You must keep all earthly treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart. C.H. Spurgeon
Self-help doesn’t help. My self is the problem. Jared Wilson
Spiritual maturity is marked by spiritual knowledge being put into action. Gal 4:19.

Thomas Watson
All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence to be with them. J. Hudson Taylor
Obedience to God releases His blessings and joy, here and hereafter…. Humbling acts of service to others, as Jesus modeled when He washed the feet of His disciples, releases joy in our hearts.
Bill Bright
It is tragic to go through our days making Christ the subject of our study but not the sustenance of our souls. Vance Havner

Other men may preach better than I, but no man can preach a better gospel. George Whitefield
If those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn. J. Oswald Sanders
My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Martin Luther

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves. A.W. Tozer
Every work of [God] serves to display His glory, and set off the greatness of His majesty. John Gill
God will not send trial without the intention of blessing; therefore, where the trial is great, we may be sure that the blessing intended is great also. P.B. Power
True peace comes not from the absence of trouble but from the presence of God. Alexander Maclaren

A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts. Paul Johnson
Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures. —R.C. Sproul
