A Quote by William Gurnall

How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.

For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.

This kind of split makes me crazy, this territorializing of the holy. Here God may dwell. Here God may not dwell. It contradicts everything in my experience, which says: God dwells where I dwell. Period.

Nancy Mairs

The soul, which is spirit, can not dwell in dust; it is carried along to dwell in the blood.

Saint Augustine

The Son of God came to dwell in human flesh for us in order that He might come to dwell in us by His Spirit.

Sinclair B. Ferguson

God appears, and God is Light, to those poor souls who dwell in Night; but does a Human Form display to those who dwell in realms of Day.

William Blake

Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God.

William Law

Provided they live a worthy life, both those who choose to dwell in the midst of noise and hubbub and those who dwell in monasteries, mountains and caves can achieve salvation. Solely because of their faith in Him God bestows great blessings on them. Hence those who because of their laziness have failed to attain salvation will have no excuse to offer on the day of judgment. For He who promised to grant us salvation simply on account of our faith in Him is not a liar.

Symeon the New Theologian

People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.

Meister Eckhart

Don't dwell on your insufficiency, but dwell on God's all-sufficiency.

To what profit is it that we dwell in Jerusalem, if we do not see the King's face? And when He comes forth from His royal chambers, accompanied with blessing, are we to hold ourselves at leisure that we may yield Him worship and offer Him service?

David McIntyre

I try to dwell on the positive and not dwell on the negative as much as I can.

Alex Iwobi

Somewhere in the other side of nowhere is a place in space beyond time where the Gods of mythology dwell. ... These gods dwell in their mythocracies as opposed to your theocracies, democracies, and monocracies. They dwell in a magic world. These Gods can even offer you immortality.

Sun Ra

Much more wretched than lackof health inthe body, it is to dwell with a soul that is not healthy, but corrupt.

Plato

The Spirit of God is given to the true saints to dwell in them as his proper lasting abode to dwell in them and to influence their hearts as a principle of new nature or as a divine supernatural spring of life and action.

Jonathan Edwards

It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
