The holiday season is a beautiful time to reflect on the year with friends and family. With all the noise of our modern age, how can we truly slow down, remove our focus from our own worries and extend love to those around us?
With the season of giving fast approaching, here are a few book quotes to encourage you to genuinely love your family, friends, community and Saviour even more this year.
“We desperately need community. And God is going to use people to bring us back to himself when we find ourselves drifting out to sea.”
“In all moments, God is the best of the best and comforts us when things are the worst of the worst.”
“We can always show up fully with Christ, just as we are, because nothing is hidden from him anyway.”
"Scripture is full of commands for us to praise and give thanks to our Lord, so it really does matter. What a delight it should be for us to thank him.”
"We are profoundly grateful to our Creator for creating, loving, saving, and sustaining us to the praise of his great glory."
"Is it possible that we daily intend to be grateful but fall short of it becoming second nature to us? Every single breath we draw is a gift from our Almighty God. That simple and profound truth is too often lost on us. We are surrounded by a contemporary culture where entitlement rules. People are convinced they deserve to be happy, healthy, rich, and empowered. Self-absorption creeps in and takes root.”
"More than anything else, we are the most thankful for the inexpressible gift of grace in the salvation that we have in Christ alone.”
“Rest creates relational room—the space to relate to God and others, the oxygen whose relationships require to live and to grow.”
“It is a great and glorious truth that we as humans were made for the glory of God. To experience and express all the wonders of his manifold attributes is the delightful vocation of his people.”
“We express the glory of God as we experience relationship with God. We won’t declare him if we do not know him. But if we never have any time to enjoy being with him—if we’re never resting with him—then what have we to express to the world.”
“He is the one we run to when we need someone who will lean in and listen as we pour out our hearts in tears and frustration. And he is the one who has provided us with a family who can surround us in both good times and bad.”
“God loves to take small things and make them matter in big ways.”
“Rich people can be friends with Jesus. Poor people can be friends with Jesus. People whose bodies work different or look different can be friends with Jesus. People who speak French or Korean of Spanish or English can be friends with Jesus.”
“Our churches should be big-wide-welcome places—where there are no favorites and everyone is loved.”
