Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.
{Francis Chan}
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
{ Zephaniah 3:17}
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
{Timothy Keller}
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and
devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made
more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that
has no time for trifling that counts.”
{ Amy Carmichael}
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
{Albert Einstein}
If
I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can
satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another
world.
{C.S. Lewis}
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou
an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in
spirit, in faith, in purity.
{1 Timothy 4:12}
Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, just literally
20 seconds of embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great
will come of it.
{Unknown}
Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.
{Corrie ten Boom}
I know of no greater simplifier for all of life. Whatever happens is
assigned. Does the intellect balk at that? Can we say that there are
things that
happen to us that do not belong to our lovingly assigned portion (this
belongs to it; that does not?) Are some things then out of the control
of the Almighty? Every assignment is measured and
controlled for my eternal good. As I accept the given portion, other
options are cancelled. Decisions become easier, directions clearer, and
hence my heart becomes inexpressibly quieter.
{Elisabeth Elliot}
At
present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door.
We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us
fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendors we see. But all the
leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumor that it will
not always be so. Some day, God willing, we shall get in.....
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. a belief in God so
assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.
{Martin
Luther}
Too often, people want what they want (or what they think they want,
which is usually "happiness" in one form or another) right now. The
irony of their impatience is that only by learning to wait, and by
willing to accept the bad with the good, do we usually attain those
things that are truly worthwhile.
{Joshua Harris}
I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I wish to be. I am not what
I hope to be. Yet I can truly say I am not what I once was. By the
grace of God I am what I am.
{John Newton}
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}
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
{ Psalm 46:1-3}
Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to
impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your
absence felt.
{Unknown}
Just because you can't see the air, doesn't mean you stop breathing.
Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean you stop believing.
{Unknown}
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
{ Psalm 30:11-12}
As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.
{Winnie the Pooh}
