Collector of Quotes

I’ve always been a collector of quotes. When I was young I would fill journals with poetry and on the inside covers of the books I would always record quotes and lyrics that inspired me. It’s even easier now with modern technology to save quotes—I have a whole Pinterest board full of ones that have touched me. If you come in my office you’ll see various scriptures and quotes on my walls. Below are a few that I’ve been mulling over recently. Do you keep snippets of words somewhere?

“I will kindle my fire this morning in the presence of the holy angels of heaven…

Without malice, without jealousy, without envy

Without fear, without terror of anyone under the sun,

But the Holy Son of God to shield me.

God, kindle Thou in my heart within

A flame of love to my neighbor.”

--Alexander Carmichael

“Simply put, prayer is a way of life.  It is an attitude of God—consciousness and God-surrender that we carry all the time.  Prayer is how we communicate with our God and it is an opportunity for us to bring our gratitude, needs, and concerns before Him.”-Christine Caine

“God, sing over me the truth of how You see me.  You made me in love, for love and—somehow—it is enough.” –Kate Bowler & Jessica Richie
