“And whenever you may stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you your trespasses; and, if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.”
Mark 11:25-26
“To keep a lamp burning
we have to keep putting oil in it.”
George MacDonald

– George Macdonald
“If we do not die to ourselves, we cannot live to God,
and he that does not live to God, is dead.”
– George MacDonald
“That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, ‘Thou art my refuge.'”
– George MacDonald
