- C.S. Lewis
“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”
- C.S. Lewis

'Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving"
- Colossians 3:23-24 "Please God, don’t move that mountain, but give me the strength to climb it. Supplement my will and empower me, because true wealth and success demand responsibility and ownership of my current situation. In order to lead, I must be the anchor to my family, my team, my friends, and my business."
I wrote this over a year ago and forgot it until this evening. I checked it on Google and was surprised I actually wrote it, and didn't quote it from someone else. That said, it speaks to me and I hope it speaks to you. Blessings always. "We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will."
- Anonymous "You are not broken. You are just being called back to Him."
- Umm Umar Khaled So, here's to all the broken people today. May you realize that you're not alone, and the things you hear in your head telling you that you aren't valuable are a lie. They are words from the enemy, placed into your head, to convince you that YOU think this way. Do not be deceived. Every good thing comes from Him above. All bad things, and the undermining that occurs, come from the enemy. How you respond is the depth of your faith. Blessings always. "The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says: Change the way you have been living and do what is right. If you do, I will allow you to continue to live in this land."
- Jeremiah 7: 3 This spoke to me the other day, and again today. Mostly, because I'm struggling with some significant issues in my life, with the near future in question to what is the best route, etc. As many of you know, we are compelled to move to Japan to serve families in crisis and that is coming. However, it doesn't mean that it's happening today, so there is some confusion as to how things are working out and we need to follow guidance of the Lord first, and friends perceptions and opinions second. We need to keep our focus on God and all will work out well. Without that, we're chasing ideas that people have for us, and although they are well intended, they aren't necessarily the truth. God will help us discern the words. Thanks for reading and blessings always. "In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God."
- St. John "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
-Jeremiah 29:11 |
