Quotes

How unbelievably awesome is the One Who created everything! Our heads should bow,our knees should bend, our wills should yield, our hands should serve, our minds should worship, and our hearts should love the One Whose glory is revealed in the beginning through His eternity, deity, activity, and identity.

God's Story

Every day God reminds us to quit holding things too tightly--whether an event, a viewpoint, a desire, a particular time in life, or a person who we thoroughly enjoy. He urges us to stop struggling, resisting, coercing, or manipulating for what we want. When we simply do what He asks, no matter how hard it seems, and we keep our focus on the Light of the world, an amazing brightness comes, all within the embrace of His love.

God's peace doesn't guarantee we won't be touched by the world. No. Jesus assured us we will be knocked around by evils the world inflicts on its inhabitants. Rather, God's peace is like an inner lining to keep the world's fears and destruction from eating and destroying our souls.

The blessing God wants to pour out on your life and mine is not necessarily increased wealth or problem-free health or material prosperity. And it is not obtainable by prayerfully reciting a formula as though you are rubbing Aladdin's lamp, waiting for the Divine Genie to pop out and grant your request. The fullness of the blessing God wants to give you and me can be summed up in one word---Jesus!

My Heart's Cry

Our God is a compassionate God. His ear is always inclined toward our hearts. He listens with understanding and long-suffering. He does not grow deaf to our cries or turn away from our repetitious pleas. He loves to rejoice with us in our victories and mercifully hears our confession. Even more than we long to be heard, He desires to listen.

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?

God isn't going to let you see the distant scene. So you might as well quit looking for it. He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future. We do not need to know what will happen tomorrow. We only need to know He leads us and we will find grace to help us when we need it.

Jesus said that He came into our world for the specific purpose of giving us life---more abundant life. He is not the God of the tomb, but of resurrection morning. Give your life and your problems over to Him. I can guarantee that He has an answer tailor-made for your needs by One who loves you personally and wants to see you laugh again.

The New Testament Greek word for repent means to stop traveling in one direction and turn 180 degrees around. While this New Testament word also communicates that one should feel sorrow and regret for his or her sin, the stress is on turning around and traveling back. Repentance is returning to God in whose likeness we are created. To repent is to begin the journey homeward.

~~Harriet Crosby
A Place Called Home

Though fate may be fickle, God is not. God is constant, ready to hold our hands as we lurch, tiptoe, stride into uncertainty, and to hold us in His arms when disaster catches us off-guard, or to shield us when our expectations explode with good news. God is with us no matter what future we wake up in.

"Your life is now hidden with Christ in God." The Chinese language has a great symbol for this truth. The word for righteousness is a combination of two pictures. On the top is a lamb. Beneath the lamb is a person. The lamb covers the person. Isn't that the essence of righteousness? The Lamb of Christ over the child of God? Whenever the Father looks down on you. . . He sees His Son, the perfect Lamb of God, hiding you.
