Inspirational Quotes by Max Lucado
“What you think of Jesus Christ Will thoroughly color how you think about everything else.”
“Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.”
― Max Lucado ,
“Anxiety splits our energy between today’s priorities and tomorrow’s problems. Part of our mind is on the now; the rest is on the not yet. The result is half-minded living.”
“Let me be clear. You are a version of Joesph in your generation. You represent a challenge to Satan's plan. You carry something of God within you, something noble and holy, something this world needs- wisdom, kindness, mercy, skill. If Satan can neutralize you, he can mute your influence.”
“If you do not transform your pain, you will surely transmit it. —RICHARD ROHR”
“To live as God’s child is to know, at this very instant, that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more. All your efforts to win his affection are unnecessary. All your fears of losing his affection are needless. You can no more make him want you than you can convince him to abandon you. The adoption is irreversible. You have a place at his table.”
“GRACE GRACE is the GIFT of God's Riches' the PEACE of God, The LOVE of God, The HOPE of God.”
“Does God guarantee the absence of struggle and the abundance of strength? Not in this life. But he does pledge to reweave your pain for a higher purpose.”
― Max Lucado ,
“Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as Heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you.”
“Heaven does not know you as the fellow with the nice suit or the woman with the big house or the kid with the new bike. Heaven knows your heart.”
“For således elskede Gud verden, at han gav sin enbårne søn, for at enhver som strækker ud hos ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have evigt liv (John G. Paton's oversættelse)”

“Your difficulty, your disease, your conflict are preparing you to be a voice of encouragement to your brothers.”
“Identity: smack-dab in the middle...Neither omnipotent nor impotent. Neither God's MVP nor God's mistake.”
“Deliverance is to the Bible what jazz music is to Mardi Gras: bold, brassy, and everywhere.”
“You may not be down to your final heartbeat, but you may be down to your last paycheck, solution, or thimble of faith. Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear”
“Sustaining grace promises not the absence of struggle but the presence of God.”
“And if we never agree, can’t we agree to disagree? If God can tolerate my mistakes, can’t I tolerate the mistakes of others? If God can overlook my errors, can’t I overlook the errors of others? If God allows me with my foibles and failures to call him Father, shouldn’t I extend the same grace to others? One thing’s for sure. When we get to heaven, we’ll be surprised at some of the folks we see. And some of them will be surprised when they see us.”
― Max Lucado ,
“God has given us peace in our pain. He covers us all the time. Even when we are out of control, he is still there.”

Max’s sermons begin at home with the congregation at Oak Hills Church, which he has led for more than two decades. It is in this setting that his stories are first told, from a pastor’s heart. Eventually some of these sermons and stories are refined and fashioned into books that are shared far beyond the walls of Oak Hills and the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Max’s words have traveled around the world in more than 41 languages via more than 100 million individual products.Max Lucado’s first book, On the Anvil, was published in 1985. 2013 brings the release of Max’s 30th trade book, You’ll Get Through This (September), which beautifully illustrates Lucado’s ongoing mission to encourage the brokenhearted and to remind all readers of the healing love of God. Max and family moved back to Texas in 1988, and Max has been a minister at Oak Hills Church ever since.
