Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
Let us use worldly things as wise pilgrims do their staves and other necessaries convenient for their journey.

But if they become troublesome hindrances and cumbersome burdens, let us leave them behind us, or cast them away.

— George Downame
The Lord does not measure our afflictions according to our faults, but according to our strength, and looks not what we have deserved, but what we are able to bear.
— George Downame
