God is always with us, why should we not always be with God?- William Ullathorne

Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. Alone, or in company--in sickness or in health--by sea or by land--in perils in the city--in perils in the wilderness--the same eye which saw the disciples tossed on the lake, is ever looking at us. We are never beyond the reach of His care. Our way is never hidden from Him. He knows the path that we take, and is still able to help. He may not come to our aid at the time we like best, but He will never allow us utterly to fail. He who walked upon the water never changes. He will always come at the right time to uphold His people. Though He tarry, let us wait patiently. Jesus sees us, and will not forsake us.~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark, [Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1985], 131.

What other people think of me is becoming less and less important; what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.- Cliff Richard

When thoughts enter my mind uninvited, I do my best not to let them get comfortable there.-Unknown

At this day... the earth sustains on her bosom many monster
minds, minds which are not afraid to employ the seed of Deity
deposited in human nature as a means of suppressing the name of
God. Can anything be more detestable than this madness in man,
who, finding God a hundred times both in his body and his soul,
makes his excellence in this respect a pretext for denying that
there is a God? He will not say that chance has made him
different from the brutes; ... but, substituting Nature as the
architect of the universe, he suppresses the name of God.-John Calvin (1509-1564), The Institutes of the Christian Religion, v. I [1559], tr. John Allen, Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath-School
Work, 1921, I.v.4, p. 60
