Inspirational Quotes by Max Lucado
“God calmed the fears of Isaiah, not by removing the problem, but by revealing his divine power and presence.”
“Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.”

“Ageing. We laugh about it, and we groan about it. We resist it, but we cant't stop it. And with the chuckles and wrinkles come serious thoughts and questions about what happens when we die. Is death when we go to sleep? Or is death when we finally wake up?”
“And in calling himself I AM, Christ was equating himself with God. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).

Nosotros también conocemos las tácticas del diablo.”
“Imagine that . . . unworthy of the touch of a man, yet worthy of the touch of God.”
“Right there in the middle of a world which isn’t fair. He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body which gets sick and a heart which grows weak . . . On the eve of the cross, Jesus made his decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you. And the”
