Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.

When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this – that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.

Make it a part of every day’s business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

Walk more closely with God. Get nearer to Christ. Seek to exchange hope for assurance. Seek to feel the witness of the Spirit more closely and distinctly every year. Lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily threatens you. Press towards the mark more earnestly. Fight a better fight, and war a better warfare every year you live. Pray more. Read more. Subdue self more. Love the brethren more. Oh that you may endeavor to grow in grace every year, that the end of your Christian course may be better than the beginning.

Necessity is laid upon us. We must fight. There are no promises in the Lord Jesus Christ’s epistles to the seven churches, except to those who ‘overcome.’ Where there is grace, there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.

Sanctifying faith is a grace of which the very life is action: it “worketh by love,” and, like a main-spring, moves the whole inward man. (Gal. v. 6.)

Humility and silence are beautiful graces in young people. Never be ashamed of being a learner: Jesus was one at twelve years; when He was found in the temple, He was “sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

Gradual growth in grace, growth in knowledge, growth in faith, growth in love, growth in holiness, growth in humility, growth in spiritual-mindedness – all this I see clearly taught and urged in Scripture, and clearly exemplified in the lives of many of God’s saints. But sudden, instantaneous leaps from conversion to consecration I fail to see in the Bible.

The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion — whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside — such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.

Where there is grace there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.

True holiness does not make a Christian evade difficulties, but face and overcome them. Christ would have His people show that His grace is not a mere hothouse plant, which can only thrive under shelter, but a strong, hardy thing which can flourish in every relation of life.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.

Read the Bible daily. Make it part of your everyday business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Gather your manna fresh every morning. Choose your own seasons and hours. Do not scramble over and hurry your reading. Give your Bible the best, and not the worst, part of your time. But whatever plan you pursue, let it be a rule of your life to visit the throne of grace and the Bible every day.

Who hath not own’d, with rapture-smitten frame, The power of grace, the magic of a name.

Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse; but Humility is the beauty of Grace

It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin

Every twinkling of light is light; every drop of water is water; every spark of fire is fire; every drop of honey is honey. So every drop of grace is grace;

As heat is opposed to cold, and light to darkness, so grace is opposed to sin. Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart

To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin

It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God

Grace is a certain beginning of glory in us.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Believing is an act of the intellect assenting to the divine truth by command of the will moved by God through grace

Grace does not destroy nature, it perfects it

The splendor of a soul in grace is so seductive that it surpasses the beauty of all created things

When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.

Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.

Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace

For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world

He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries

To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace

If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace

I’m happy. I’m always with a smile.

I also understood that God’s love shows itself just as well in the simplest soul which puts up no resistance to His grace as it does in the loftiest soul

You should be an example for your children. I show my three children what I am and expect them to live by certain controls. But, by the grace of god, they are good kids.

There is beauty in stillness and grace in acceptance.

The only trouble is that in the spiritual life there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Those who imagine that they can discover spiritual gimmicks and put them to work for themselves usually ignore God’s will and his grace.

Grace is not a strange, magic substance which is subtly filtered into our souls to act as a kind of spiritual penicillin. Grace is unity, oneness within ourselves, oneness with God.

Every breath we draw is a gift of God’s love; every moment of existence is a grace.

To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything

I start my day with positive thoughts and energy. I am relaxed, nonresistant, and clear. My day unfolds with ease and grace.

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

A true test of a man’s character is his humility in victory and grace in defeat.

The religion of Christ means more than the forgiveness of sin; it means taking away our sins, and filling the vacuum with the graces of the Holy Spirit.

Whenever the people of God are growing in grace, they will be constantly obtaining a clearer understanding of His word.

Our growth in grace, our joy, our usefulness,–all depend upon our union with Christ. It is by communion with Him, daily, hourly,–by abiding in Him, –that we are to grow in grace.

Fellas grab your ladies if your lady fine Tell her she the one, she the one for life

Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.

God’s grace consists in the fact that He shines in the heart of every one as the Self; that power of grace does not exclude any one, whether good or otherwise.

Grace is within you. Grace is your self. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. If it is external, it is useless. All that is necessary is to know its existence is in you. You are never out of its operation.

I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvelous presence.

I am a substantial sinner. I have asked the Heavenly Father for His Grace.

You say grace before meals. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.

Let us not dread old age. Let us grow old graciously since the LORD Himself is with us in fullness of grace.

Some talk of our being in grace and out of it, as if we were like rabbits that run in and out of their burrows; but, indeed, it is not so. The LORD’s love is a far more serious and abiding matter than this. He chose us from eternity, and He will love us throughout eternity. He loved us so as to die for us, and we may therefore be sure that His love will never die.

If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.

God doesn’t owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.

Only as we bow in contrition, confession, and repentance at the foot of the cross, can we find forgiveness. There is the grace of God.

The motive of grace is the infinite, compassionate love of a merciful God, but the work of grace was the death of Christ on the cross.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.
