One of the greatest rewards that we ever receive for serving God is the permission to do still more for Him.
You should be dynamic, and still be soft in the heart. _x000D_ You should stand against injustice and simultaneously, be compassionate within you, like a saint. _x000D_ Be a saint and a soldier, together
A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.
I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days and God came to me.
It’s okay to wonder how you could try so hard and still get stomped all over. Just don’t let them change you.
The voice so sweet, the words so fair, As some soft chime had stroked the air; And though the sound had parted thence, Still left an echo in the sense.
When they told me that by the year 2100 women would rule the world, my reply was 'Still?'
I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: as Douglas Adams once pointed out to me, more than 20 years before the Kindle turned up, a physical book is like a shark. Sharks are old: there were sharks in the ocean before the dinosaurs. And the reason there are still sharks around is that sharks are better at being sharks than anything else is.
If you cared enough about your characters, what happened to them was interesting... it's important to care about them, about who they are and what they do...I don't really care whose side they are on, and they can be monstrous on the outside or, worse, on the inside, but you still have to want to spend time with them.
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.'
It's still scary every time I go back to the past. Each morning, my heart catches. When I get there, I remember how the light was, where the draft was coming from, what odors were in the air. When I write, I get all the weeping out.
God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
The miraculous is not extraordinary but the common mode of existence. It is our daily bread. Whoever really has considered the lilies of the field or the birds of the air and pondered the improbability of their existence in this warm world within the cold and empty stellar distances will hardly balk at the turning of water into wine which was, after all, a very small miracle. We forget the greater and still continuing miracle by which water (with soil and sunlight) is turned into grapes.
Many of the greatest things man has achieved are not the result of consciously directed thought, and still less the product of a deliberately coordinated effort of many individuals, but of a process in which the individual plays a part which he can never fully understand.
I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.
If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
I still say the only education worth anything is self-education.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; _x000D_ Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: _x000D_ For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; _x000D_ His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, _x000D_ On earth is not his equal.
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
To be a spiritual warrior means to develop a special kind of courage, one that is innately intelligent, gentle, and fearless. Spiritual warriors can still be frightened, but even so they are courageous enough to taste suffering, to relate clearly to their fundamental fear, and to draw out without evasion the lessons from difficulties.
When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.
