Quotes from Max Lucado

You will be at your best forever, Even now you have good moments. Occasional glimpses of your heavenly self. When you change your baby's diaper, forgive your boss's temper, tolerate your spouse's moodiness, you display traces of saintliness.

He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future.

The only mistake is not to risk making one.

When we see death, we see disaster. When Jesus sees death, he sees deliverance!

Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace... & nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy

Mark it down: God loves you with an unearthly love. You can't win it by being winsome. You can't lose it by being a loser. But you can be blind enough to resist it

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.

Jesus changes places with us. We, like Adam, were under a curse, but Jesus changed places with us and put himself under that curse (Gal. 3:13).

Our God is abundant in love and steadfast in mercy. He saves us, not because we trust in a symbol, but because we trust in a Savior.

Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia

Christ entered our world. As a result, we can enter His.

Sometimes, the people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern.
