Inspirational Quotes by Max Lucado
“Upper-room futility. A little bit of faith but very little fire.”
“Wide awake is Mary. My, how young she looks! Her head rests on the soft leather of Joseph’s saddle. The pain has been eclipsed by wonder. She looks into the face of the baby. Her son. Her Lord. His Majesty. At this point in history, the human being who best understands who God is and what he is doing is a teenage girl in a smelly stable. She can’t take her eyes off him. Somehow Mary knows she is holding God. So this is he. She remembers the words of the angel. “His kingdom will never end.”1”
“She touches the face of the infant-God. How long was your journey! This baby had overlooked the universe. These rags keeping him warm were the robes of eternity. His golden throne room had been abandoned in favor of a dirty sheep pen. And worshiping angels had been replaced with kind but bewildered shepherds. Meanwhile, the city hums. The merchants are unaware that God has visited their planet. The innkeeper would never believe that he had just sent God into the cold.”
“There is not a hint of one person who was afraid to draw near him. There were those who mocked him. There were those who were envious of him. There were those who misunderstood him. There were those who revered him. But there was not one person who considered him too holy, too divine, or too celestial to touch. There was not one person who was reluctant to approach him for fear of being rejected. Remember that. Remember”
“Once you have seen his face you will forever long to see it again.”

“How many disasters would be averted if we’d go first, in faith, to Jesus?”
“Fear of insignificance creates the result it dreads, arrives at the destination it tries to avoid, facilitates the scenario it disdains.”
“Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia. It dulls our miracle memory. It makes us forget what Jesus has done and how good God is.”
“The parched soil of fear needs steady rain.”
“The step between prudence and paranoia is short and steep. Prudence wears a seat belt. Paranoia avoids cars. Prudence washes with soap. Paranoia avoids human contact. Prudence saves for old age. Paranoia hoards even trash. Prudence prepares and plans. Paranoia panics. Prudence calculates the risk and takes the plunge. Paranoia never enters the water.”
“Feed your fears, and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.”
“Fear, at its center, is a perceived loss of control. When life spins wildly, we grab for a component of life we can manage: our diet, the tidiness of a house, the armrest of a plane, or, in many cases, people. The more insecure we feel, the meaner we become.”
“1.Encourage one another (1 Thess. 5:11). 2.Bear with one another (Eph. 4:2). 3.Regard one another as more important (Phil. 2:4). 4.Greet one another (Rom. 16:16). 5.Pray for one another (James 5:16). 6.Serve one another (Gal. 5:13). 7.Accept one another (Rom. 15:7). 8.Admonish one another (Col. 3:16). 9.Forgive one another (Eph. 4:32). 10.Love one another (1 John 3:11).”

“Happiness is found by giving it away.”

“The right heart with the wrong ritual is better than the wrong heart with the right ritual. Some”
“Pray for people. Serve more. Practice patience. And, bring the best out in people.”
― Max Lucado ,
“In God’s plan every life is long enough and every death is timely. And though you and I might wish for a longer life, God knows better. And—this is important—though you and I may wish a longer life for our loved ones, they don’t. Ironically, the first to accept God’s decision of death is the one who dies. While we are shaking heads in disbelief, they are lifting hands in worship. While we are mourning at a grave, they are marveling at heaven. While we are questioning God, they are praising God.”
“The key is this: Meet today’s problems with today’s strength. Don’t start tackling tomorrow’s problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow’s strength yet. You simply have enough for today.”
“What you have in your Shepherd is greater than what you don’t have in life.”
“While we are shaking heads in disbelief, they are lifting hands in worship. While we are mourning at a grave, they are marveling at heaven. While we are questioning God, they are praising God.”
