John Henry Newman Quotes

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn't, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

I believe that God has a specific plan and reason He created each one of us.

Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.

For one reason or another, the good God has left me on this planet; surely, I will not sit around and not do what I do naturally.

I really believe that God has a purpose for everything that I do.

You are here for a reason.

Each child is sent into this world by God with a "Unique Message" to deliver, a new personal act of love to bestow

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission.

God has created me to do him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission; I never may know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I have a part in a great work; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling.

For years I have made it my mission to destroy the influence of the Christian clich, 'the safest place to be is in the center of the will of God.' God would never choose for us safety at the cost of significance. God created you so that your life would count, not so that you could count the days of your life.

Faith gives the assurance that our lives and our history have a moral design.

God's big plan: go love everybody, always!

We often can't see what God is doing in our lives, but God sees the whole picture and His plan for us clearly.

We seldom realize fully that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks. We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide to entertain ourselves until we die. But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was. Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do.

Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.

The plots of God are perfect. The Universe is a plot of God.

I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast.

God created man and He created the world for him to live in and I reckon He created the kind of world He would have wanted to live in if He had been a man--the ground to walk on, the big woods, the trees and the water, and the game to live in it. And maybe He didn't put the desire to hunt and kill game in man but I reckon He knew it was going to be there, that man was going to teach it to himself, since he wasn't quite God himself yet.

God has not made this world to be a nest for us, and if we try to make it such for ourselves, he plants thorns in it, so that we may be compelled to mount and find our soul’s true home somewhere else, in a higher and nobler sphere than this poor world can give.

God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.

God ain't finished with any of us yet.

I encourage everyone to know that God has a plan for their life and that God never makes a mistake even though it seems like He is not listening or paying attention sometimes.

Appreciate everything and everyone. Look upon every experience you've ever had, and everyone who's ever played any role in your life, as having been sent to you for your benefit. In this universe, which was created by a divine, organizing intelligence, there are simply no accidents.
