283 Quotes by Patience Johnson

I believe love is the most misunderstood concept in the world. You can buy your wife the most expensive house and car and still have a horrible marriage. A lot of people have beautiful houses but they can't live in them because they spend more money and time on building a house than they spend on building their relationship.

How do you handle, your time and God's time? Does it mean that God can tell lies or that He doesn't know what He is telling you? Can God deceive a man? My answer to you is NO!But what happens if your time and His time doesn't agree?My bible says in Galatians 6:9 do not be weary in doing good; for in due season you shall reap, if you faint not.

Before God can lift you up, He will first knock you down. Go through it, I have been there many times. The most interesting part is when you look back and see how far He has brought you, you can't afford not to get up and keep on moving.

If you permit God to test you at the beginning, you will stand every trial for a long time. Don't plan to drive a Mercedes jeep as a boy and ride a bicycle in your adult age. Every trial given to you while you are young is made to prepare you for your old, age so that you can proclaim; I was young and now I am old, I have never seen the righteousness forsaken nor their children begging for bread.

No matter how holy you are, holiness does not take satan to hell, it just makes you a better person. Holiness makes you an instrument in the hand of God but your righteousness does not kill the devil.

Never let your fears ever stop you from living your life

I have tried a lot of things in my life minus one thing ..and that is doubting God. I am so sure of Him that I know that whenever I surrender He kicks in and takes over.

Anything that is wrong in your life is right because if there is no wrong there you can´t find right.

Before you try to be like anyone else, find out if you are your true self, because if you try to be like anyone else including me, that means you do not know who you are. Selah! The day yourself will rise, the people that you want to be like will not be there.
