Quotes

The home you've always wanted, the home you continue to long for with all your heart, is the home God is preparing for you! As John gazed at a vision of the glory of Jesus Christ. . ., he stood in awed wonder of "a new heaven and a new earth" (Rev. 21:1, NIV). What he saw was confirmed by the words of One Who was seated on the throne: "I am making everything new!" Imagine it: One day, in the dream home of My Father's House, everything will be brand-new!

God works in your life as He does the earth. He waters you with the Spirit of joy. He enriches you with every spiritual nourishment you need. His river washes over you, cleansing you. He provides the grain of life, the necessities of sustenance. He waters your spirit abundantly, showering you with peace, blessing your growth.

What the Psalmist Is Saying

The weight of the cares that are laid on us is meticulously by the One who "knows our frame" and "knows full well that we are dust" (Ps. 103:14, NEB). Not a hair's weight more than we can sustain will be added to the load, but a load there must be for each of us, for we are in training. We are promised something intriguing and mysterious when this is all over--"an eternal weight of glory, out of all proportion to our pain" (2 Cor. 4:17, NEB).

The Music of His Promises

What if everybody in the world decided to start looking at life through the lens of possibility? There would be no boring people. There would be no average days. . . There would be no reason for prolonged discouragement -- nothing to hold us back from conquering the enemies that steal our joy or disturb our souls. Everything would be possible because our focus would be on the Lord Jesus, who makes all things possible.

Most of us are prone to think of God's will only as His plan for getting something done. That's why we pray, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10). Getting things done may be the immediate purpose is His glory; and the glory of God is the highest purpose that can occupy the human heart and life.

We are conned--by advertising, by our needs, by our desire to play God in our own lives--into believing that planning is safety, that knowing the future is security. God has a plan for our lives, and He reveals it to us in His time, and only when He thinks we should know. To seek security in the future through any other means is idolatry.

All of our iniquities are carried away into the depths of the sea of God's forgiveness--not only to be buried from view but also forgotten forever. Only God our Father could be so gracious. Only He could be so magnanimous. Only He could be so utterly astonishing.

~~W. Phillip Keller
Sea Edge

We all have trouble seeing as God does because He looks through binoculars and we look through pinholes. He stands right next to us and says, "I see, I see, I know, I know." We weren't created to "have our way" and "live our way." We were created to worship God and trust Him and His way.

Hope for a Woman's Heart

As God works with each human life, His attitude is that of the artist who is creating a masterpiece--not just for time--but for eternity. No positive value ever built into any human personality is wasted. Therefore, God can afford to take infinite, painstaking trouble with each of us. He can be just as patient in molding us according to His perfect pattern, as we force Him to be.
