Anne Lamott Quotes

Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, 'Christ is risen,' but 'I shall rise.'

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.

Easter is very important to me, it's a second chance.

The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.

The first Christians were formed by the first Easter into a new community that transcended all other commitments, encompassing the tax collector Matthew, a lackey of the occupying Romans, and Simon the Zealot, an insurrectionist.

I'm going to use whatever God blesses me with as a platform to tell the world that God is for you. He proved it through sending Jesus down here to die for us and be resurrected. And for us that gives us second chances and it gives us hope, and so we spread that message everywhere.

When Good Friday comes, these are the moments in life when we feel there's no hope. But then, Easter comes.

I think there's an opportunity hopefully for religion to be not so much used as a cudgel but invoked as a way of calling us to higher values.

I'd like to thank Jesus. He's the one who changed my life.

The carnal nature of man is that he places his tribe above others, but the only basis for the power and unity of the church is that there is no Jew or Gentile.

A living faith in God means acceptance of the brotherhood of mankind.

There is an Easter sense in which all things are made new in the risen Christ. A tiny gleam of this is reflected in all true art.

It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.

Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. And because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace. His offer has no fine print. He didn't tell me, "Clean up before you come in." He offered, "Come in, and I'll clean you up." It's not my grip on him that matters but his grip on me. And his grip is sure. So is his presence in my life.

Think of everything you've ever experienced that was painful; that's the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that's the meaning of Easter.

Right is of no Sex-Truth is of no Color-God is the Father of us all, and we are all Brethren.

Good Friday and Easter free us to think about other things far beyond our own personal fate, about the ultimate meaning of all life, suffering, and events; and we lay hold of a great hope.

I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.

The One who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus. Perhaps in seeing Him, we will see what we can become!

When divine consciousness enters, the shift occurs and you will be engulfed by what will feel like the greatest love imaginable – a love in which your soul realigns with your spirit and they meet together as one.

Easter is all about remembering the importance of change, responsibility, and doing the right thing for the good of our children.

If we allow the love of Christ to change our heart, then we can change the world. This is the secret of authentic happiness.

We worship God, but have no faith in the workings of God's laws of love. The world awaits the living of the law of love, which will reach the divine within all human beings and transform them.
