Matthew 6:6, from The Message:
"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace."
"This is my only comfort
in life and death:
that I belong - body and soul -
not to myself,
but to my faithful savior,
Jesus Christ,
who at the cost
of His own blood
has fully paid
for all my sins
and has completely
freed me."
- from The Heidelberg Catachism
"Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." - Mother Teresa
"Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain.
There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel." - Corrie Ten Boom

From I Peter 4:1-2 in The Message:
"Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think and act like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning away from the old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want."
