Hope & Grace Expressions

hope & grace, inspirational stories

Hope & grace are more than precious words to me

Hope & Grace are precious words. But for me, they are more than words. They are expressions of God’s love for us all. For me, hope & grace means not giving up, but looking up—and seeing Him!

Hope & grace: it’s all about Who you know!

Hope & grace: not knowing what the future holds, but knowing Who holds the future. Hope & grace: clinging to the words of the One who has never given up on me! With that in mind, I offer some ‘hope & grace‘ expressions that have meant a lot to me.

“The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances…”

Jeanne Guyon

“Most people, in their serious moods, must have some question in their minds as to how things are going to stack up when the end comes. Laugh it off and toss it aside as we may, the day will come, and then what?”

Henry Hampton Halley 1874-1965

 

“Our lives are the product of out thoughts. To live right we need to think right. We must read the Bible frequently and regularly so that God’s thoughts may be frequently and regularly in our minds; so that His thoughts may become our thoughts; so that our ideas may be conformed to God’s ideas; so that we may be transformed into God’s own image and be made fit for eternal companionship with our Creator.”
Henry Hampton Halley

 

 

 

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt — “Citizenship in a Republic,”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

(…Hope & Grace indeed!)
