God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.

Billy Graham
Suffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all. The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to Him in trust and confidence.

Billy Graham
"Salvation is always "good news." It is news of God's love and forgiveness-adoption into His family- fellowship with His people-freedom from the penalty of sin- liberation from the power of sin."

Billy Graham
Do you want to trust your life in God's pocket or keep it in your own?

Billy Graham
The angels minister to God's servants in time of hardship and danger.

Billy Graham
God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.

Billy Graham
All too often we are more afraid of physical pain than of moral wrong. The cross is the standing evidence of the fact that holiness is a principle for which God would die.

Billy Graham
Your salvation depends on what [Christ] has done for you, not on what you do for Him. It isn't your hold on God that saves you. It's His hold on you.

Billy Graham
Whatever you love most, be it sports, pleasure, business or God, that is your god!

Billy Graham
Fear can paralyze us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian!

Billy Graham
God can use the fear that grips the hearts of men today to point them to eternal truths- the truth of God's eternal judgment, and the truth of His eternal love.

Billy Graham
[There are] seven gifts God gives you when you commit your life to Christ: a new relationship, a new citizenship, a new family, a new purpose, a new power, a new destiny, and a new journey.

Billy Graham
We never know when we too will be called into eternity. I doubt if even one of those people who got on those planes or walked into the World Trade Center or the Pentagon last Tuesday morning thought it would be the last day of their lives. They didn't - it didn't occur to them. And that's why each of us needs to face our own spiritual need and commit ourselves to God and his will now.

Billy Graham
Love your children-and let them know you love them. Children who experience love find it far easier to believe God loves them.

Billy Graham
If you are ignorant of God's Word, you will always be ignorant of God's will.

Billy Graham
The reason we have this inner conviction that death is not the end - and that Heaven exists - is because we were created in the image of God.

Billy Graham
Our valleys may be filled with foes and tears; but we can lift our eyes to the hills to see God and the angels, heaven's spectators, who support us according to God's infinite wisdom as they prepare our welcome home.

Billy Graham
Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God's love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

Billy Graham
Grumbling and gratitude are, for the child of God, in conflict. Be grateful and you won't grumble. Grumble and you won't be grateful.

Billy Graham
You cannot come to Christ unless the Spirit of God brings you. But what if you ignore His warnings? Then you are in the gravest danger, for some day God will no longer be speaking to you. Then it will be too late. Come to Christ while there is still time. Christ, God's greater Ark, stands ready to welcome you to safety today.

Billy Graham
Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.

Billy Graham
God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.

Billy Graham
Talk about God can become dreary and lackluster if God isn't in you.

Billy Graham
Robots do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.

Billy Graham
God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.
