"There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God." ― John Calvin Topic(s): God More From John Calvin "God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us – as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray." "Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain." "There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence." More In God "God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another."― William Shakespeare "It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears."― Helen Keller "The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together, but that’s it. All the rest of it, the true love, is the test."― Joan Chen
