Quotes

If we train ourselves, we can sense God's presence in every object or person we encounter during even a humdrum day; and recognizing the sparkle in the bubble is itself a way to worship the God who created bubbles and added sparkles just for the fun of it.

Our precious Jesus will meet extra-ordinary pain with extraordinary grace. He will meet extraordinary needs with extraordinary resources. He will meet extraordinary fears with extraordinary comfort.

Hope for a Woman's Heart

When we hurt, when we fail, when we are frightened, God wants us to draw near. . . Into His arms of safety and love. God isn't aloof and unapproachable, but quickly comes to our aid and with His great might saves us. He doesn't reject or condemn us when we cry out in fear or helplessness. He delights in quieting His children just as any mother considers it a joy to comfort her own.

The Lord your Shepherd invites you to His pasture to feed on satisfying greenery. To drink of the clear, clean water. To follow the path to fulfillment that He sets before you. Your soul is well fed in the loving Shepherd's care.

~~Peter Wallace
What the Psalmist Is Saying

Those of us who wish to be utterly honest with ourselves and with our Father know full well the need of His covering. We cry from the depths: "Who can cover my iniquities? Who can enfold me in righteousness? Who can fill me with the fullness of God?" It is He and only He who can do this for us.

No matter what the circumstances, God always has the last word. Always. And it is a word of triumph. There is no death! What joy! For those of us still left on earth puzzling it out, ultimately, after weeping through the night, we notice that the shades lighten slowly, and sunlight eventually pours in, making the dust motes dance, and making the room habitable once again. The peace of God passes understanding.

God loves to decorate. God has to decorate. Let Him live long enough in a heart, and that heart will begin to change. Portraits of hurt will be replaced by landscapes of grace. Walls of anger will be demolished and shaky foundations restored. God can no more leave a life unchanged than a mother can leave her child's tear untouched.

~~Max Lucado
Just like Jesus

In difficult times God expects that we shall simply settle down quietly upon the shore of His great grace and wait patiently for Him. He does not call us to beat our way with flashing wings and spent bodies against the storms of life. He simply tells us that those who wait upon the Lord will mount up on wings refreshed.

God created us as unique beings, and what's even more exciting than being an individual work of art is that God wants to spend time with us. He allows us to be lonely so we will seek Him, and He misses us when we avoid Him by packing the suitcases of our lives with stuff we can't take with us.

God wants your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship. He will come near to you, if you will come near to Him.

~~Billy Graham
