Inspirational Quotes by Randy Alcorn

He is the wonderful counselor to the confused and depressed (Isaiah 9:6).”

Sometimes sorrow and joy do battle; sometimes they coexist, but when our hearts and minds are on Christ, joy is never far away:”

When I’m alone, whether I’m meditating or reading or looking at photos or watching a movie, any happiness or laughter I experience is a laugh I share with God because, in fact, I am not alone!”
