Quotemeal: Nov. 1st, 2014

Saturday, November 1, 2014

"Heaven is not here, it's There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for."
— Elisabeth Elliot

"Funerals, divorces, illnesses, and stays in the hospital — you can't lie about life at such times. Maybe that's why he's always present at such moments."
Max Lucado
"Perhaps one reason God delays His answers to our prayers is because He knows we need to be with Him far more than we need the things we ask of Him."
"It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the End of our journey, He is also at every stopping place."
