'Whenever we come to the throne of God to ask His mercy, we may look up, and behold the rainbow of promise, and find in it assurance that our prayers shall be answered.' (ST10-10-92)

'We can do this with confidence for `the chain that has been let down from the throne of God is long enough to reach to the lowest depths. Jesus is able to lift the most sinful out of the pit of degradation, and to place them where they will be acknowledged as children of God, heirs with Jesus to an immortal inheritance.' (7T229)

'Do you feel that because you are a sinner you cannot hope to receive blessing from God? Remember that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. We have nothing to recommend us to God; the plea that we may urge now and ever is our utterly helpless condition, which makes His redeeming power a necessity. Renouncing all self-dependance, we may look to the cross of Calvary and say: "In my hands no price I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling." ' (MH65)

'Jesus teaches that even those who are indifferent to the claims of God are the objects of His pitying love. Every soul, however degraded by sin, is in God's sight accounted precious.' (COL194)

'Marvelous will be the transformation wrought in him who by faith opens the door of the heart to the Saviour.' (MH93)

All you need to do is to take up the Word of Scripture and learn of your Maker. 'Meditate day and night upon His character. Then you will see His beauty and rejoice in His goodness. Your heart will glow with a sense of His love. You will be uplifted as if borne by everlasting arms. With the power and light that God imparts, you can comprehend more and accomplish more than you ever before deemed possible.' (MH514)

'However small your talent, God has a place for it.' (COL360)
