“Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,

And the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;

All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine

Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.”

—John Stocker

“The movement of God’s Spirit is very gentle, very soft – and hidden. It does not seek attention. But that movement is also very persistent, strong and deep.”

—Henri Nouwen

“He who dwells in a house, keeps the house in repair; so the Spirit dwelling in a believer, keeps grace in repair.  Grace is compared to a river of the water of life (John 7:38).  This river can never be dried up because God’s Spirit is the spring that continually feeds it.”
