God laughs when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, ‘This side is mine and that side is yours.’ He laughs and says to Himself, ‘The whole universe belongs to me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.’
How tired God must be of guilt and loneliness, for that is all we ever bring to Him.

You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

A person once asked me in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: “Tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?” We must always consider the person.
For what can be known about God is plain to all, because God is plain to all, because God has shown it to them. Ever since creation of the world His invisible nature, namely His eternal power has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.
People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.
-Pearl Bailey
If God is to be defined in one sentence, then 'God' is the elementary force

-Deep Trivedi
Lord, give us joy in our families, and make us models for the rest.
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
-Jim Elliot
Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.
