To withhold forgiveness…
To withhold forgiveness is to take poison and expect the unforgiven to die.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
When people withdraw…
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God is within…
Where so ever you are, where so ever you may be praying, God who hears you is within you, hidden within, or God who hears you is not merely by your side, and you have no need to go wandering about, no need to be reaching out to God as though you would touch him with your hands.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God loves saving…
For God loves saving, not condemning, and therefore He is patient with bad people, in order to make good people out of bad people.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Understanding is…
Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore, don’t seek to understand so that you may believe, but believe so that you may understand.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God gives us what we need…
We must understand then, that even though God doesn’t always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
