This is the holy reasoning of love; it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
– Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long.
– Warren Wiersbe
It must be an odd feeling to be thankful to nobody in particular. Christians in public institutions often see this odd thing happening on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone in the institution seems to be thankful ‘in general.’ It’s very strange. It’s a little like being married in general.
– Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world:
It is not he who prays most or fasts most,
it is not he who gives most alms
or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice;
but it is he who is always thankful to God,
who wills everything that God wills,
who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness
and has a heart always ready to praise God for it.
– William Law
God never commanded us to go save the world for Him;
He calls us to follow Him as he saves the world through us.
– J. D. Greear in Table Talk
– Charles Spurgeon
Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as he is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image.

– J. C. Ryle
Every soul belongs to God and exists by His good pleasure. God being who and what He is, and we being who and what we are, the only thinkable relation between us is one of full Lordship on His part and complete submission on ours. We owe Him every honor that is in our power to give Him. Our everlasting grief lies in giving Him anything less.
