We want it because we know, in our heart of hearts, that we want the living God. We want to know him; we want to love him. We want to be able truly to call him Father.
N. T. Wright
It is not what we do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through us. God doesn’t want our success; he wants us. He doesn’t demand our achievements; he demands our obedience.
Charles Colson; Anonymous
The world belongs to God and he wants it back.
David Pawson
Most people don’t want to know the will of God in order to do it; they want to know it in order to consider it.
William L. Pettingill
Cornelius didn’t want God (or Peter) to tolerate him. He wanted to be welcomed, forgiven, healed, transformed. And he was.
