Max Lucado Quotes

Max Lucado quote

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.” – Max Lucado

To lead the orchestra, you have to turn your back on the crowd. – Max Lucado

Find joy in the ordinary. – Max Lucado

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning… Face it, friend. He is crazy about you! – Max Lucado

No one can pray and worry at the same time. – Max Lucado

Just when the truth about life sinks in, His truth starts to surface. He takes us by the hand and dares us not to sweep the facts under the rug but to confront them with him at our side. – Max Lucado

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. – Max Lucado

Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional. – Max Lucado

Want to snatch a day from the manacles of boredom? Do overgenerous deeds, acts beyond reimbursement. Kindness without compensation. Do a deed for which you cannot be repaid. – Max Lucado

The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the undeniables of life, don’t cover them with a blanket, or ignore them with a nervous grin. Don’t turn up the TV and pretend they aren’t there. Instead, stand still, whisper his name, and listen. He is nearer than you think. – Max Lucado

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue… He is able to do what you can’t. He already has a plan. God’s not bewildered. Go to Him. – Max Lucado

Our Saviour kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, ‘I can clean that if you want.’ And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes our sin. – Max Lucado

Two types of voices command your attention today. Negative ones fill your mind with doubt, bitterness, and fear. Positive ones purvey hope and strength. Which one will you choose to heed? – Max Lucado

Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go. – Max Lucado

Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme–salvation through faith in Christ. – Max Lucado

If today were your last, would you do what you’re doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again. – Max Lucado

More Max Lucado Quotes Below…


What you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass. He views your life the way you view a movie after you’ve read the book. When something bad happens, you feel the air sucked out of the theater. Everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. Not you. Why? You’ve read the book. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot. God views your life with the same confidence. He’s not only read your story…he wrote it. – Max Lucado

When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn’t they matter most now? – Max Lucado

Meet your fears with faith. – Max Lucado

To call yourself a child of God is one thing. To be called a child of God by those who watch your life is another thing altogether. – Max Lucado

For you who wonder if you’ve played too long to change, take courage from Jacob’s legacy. No man is too bad for God. To transform a riverboat gambler into a man of faith would be no easy task. But for God, it was all in a night’s work. – Max Lucado

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident. – Max Lucado

Mark it down. You will never go where God is not. – Max Lucado

People are watching the way we act more than they are listening to what we say. – Max Lucado

Here’s what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it. – Max Lucado

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realising you were the prisoner! – Max Lucado

A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her. – Max Lucado

If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you still come? If you knew that those you loved would laugh in your face, would you still care? If you knew that the tongues you made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them? Christ did. – Max Lucado

Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right. – Max Lucado

You are the only you God made… God made you and broke the mold. – Max Lucado

Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme–salvation through faith in Christ. – Max Lucado

    Max Lucado devotionals and his books have made a tremendous difference in my life. I read them when I am studying my Sunday school lesson; when I am happy or when I am troubled; I can feel God’s presence as I read about Him, through Max Lucado’s words. Anyone who has the ability to use the English language the way he does should be (and Is) working for the Lord. Thank you God for Max Lucado, from the bottom of my heart.

    Thanks for sharing this remarkable piece of inspirational information. Max Lucado’s quotes reinforces the power of words so much that it reminds me of one of mine quote;

    “Many hearts whether wounded or broken, can be mended with the right words whether written or spoken.” ~ Don Chuckie

    Today I ws reading the terrible fights between the political candidates. I was trying to cast a vote for one of them and I decided neither ! I’m praying for our lord to be the hand that decides our lives and staying home.

    Phil, I actually feel the same way! I’m praying for both individuals and for all of us, as a country. It’s in God’s hands and I’m hoping for the best. It’s just a shame we don’t see more Christianity in the lives and policies of our leaders. – Joi (“Joy”)
