A CLOSER WALK

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.
—A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)

It is in silence that God is known, and through mysteries that he declares himself.
—Robert Hugh Benson (1871–1914)

To have found God is not an end in itself but a beginning.
—Franz Rosenzweig (1886–1929)

Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened to you in contemplation.
—St. John of the Cross (1542–1591)

Whenever a person says to me: “My problem is that I do not love the Lord enough,” I usually respond: “No … your problem is that you do not know how much the Lord loves you.”
—Selwyn Hughes (1928–2006)

There come times when I have nothing more to tell God. If I were to continue to pray in words, I would have to repeat what I have already said. At such times it is wonderful to say to God, “May I be in Thy presence, Lord? I have nothing more to say to Thee, but I do love to be in Thy presence.”
—Ole Kristian Hallesby (1879–1961)

God gives hope to those who dream. Gives miracles to those who believe. He never lets down those who trust and never leaves those who walk with Him.
—Nishan Panwar
