Last week I shared some encouraging quotes from Max Lucado. Today I would like to share some additional quotes from Max that I pray will encourage your soul. All of the quotations below, by Max, are from the following website:1
“Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?”
“When you keep the porch light on for the prodigal child, you do what God does every single moment.”
“When no one is watching, live as if someone is.”
“Immerse yourself in the curriculum of grace.”
“Jesus took your punishment, and God gave you credit for Jesus’ perfection.”
“We forget that IMPOSSIBLE is one of God’s favorite words.”
“If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace.”
“Matthew loved the magi. He gave their story more square inches of text than he gave the narrative of the birth of Jesus. He never mentions the shepherds or the manger, but he didn’t want us to miss the star and the seekers. It’s easy to see why. Their story is our story.”
“I choose joy… I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical… the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.”
“God sends his angels to protect us and his Word as a star to guide us. Then he surrounds us with his grace. We become his depot, the distribution point of God’s gifts.”
“I don’t know how to answer the problem of deep pain without a deep hope in eternity.”
“I think it’s noteworthy that the Almighty didn’t act high and mighty. The Holy One wasn’t holier-than-thou. The One who knew it all wasn’t a know-it-all. The One who made the stars didn’t keep his head in them. The One who owns all the stuff of earth never strutted it.”
“The state of your heart dictates whether you harbor a grudge or give grace, seek self-pity or seek Christ, drink human misery or taste God’s mercy.”
“Actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!”
“I choose faithfulness…Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.”
“God loves people just the way they are, but He loves them too much to leave them that way!”
“Want to snatch a day from the manacles of boredom? Do overgenerous deeds, acts beyond reimbursement. Kindness without compensation. Do a deed for which you cannot be repaid.”
“Answer the big question of eternity, and the little questions of life fall into perspective.”
“Philosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life.”
“Nature is God’s first missionary. Where there is no Bible there are sparkling stars. Where there are not preachers there are spring times… If a person has nothing but nature, then nature is enough to reveal something about God.”
“Want to change your life? Begin by saying, ‘The Lord is my shepherd.’”
“God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.”
