God would rather give up His son..than give up on us
If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace.
Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.
Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.
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.
For all its peculiarities and unevenness, the Bible has a simple story. God made man. Man rejected God. God won't give up until he wins him back. God will whisper. He will shout. He will touch and tug. He will take away our burdens; he'll even take away our blessings. If there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours. Please understand. His goal is not to make you happy. His goal is to make you His. His goal is not to get you what you want; it is to get you what you need.
You need someone to lift your spirits. You need someone to look you in the face and say, "This isn't the end. Don't give up. There is a better place than this. And I'll lead you there.
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.
God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
When grace happens, we receive not a nice compliment from God but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor.
Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity.
The state of your heart dictates whether you harbor a grudge or give grace, seek self-pity or seek Christ, drink human misery or taste God's mercy.
What is this love that endures decades, passes on sleep, and resists death to give one kiss? Call it agape love, a love that bears a semblance of God's.
God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.
The next time you're disappointed, don't panic. Don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control.
If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more?
God offers authentic LOVE. His devotion is the real deal. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.
Faithful servants have a way of knowing answered prayer when they see it, and a way of not giving up when they don't.
Our task is to stand tall in God's love, secure in our place, sparkling in kindness, surrounded by his goodness, freely giving to all who come our way. You, me, and the Christmas tree. Picked, purchased, and pruned.
When God gives an assignment, he also gives the skill. Study your skills, then, to reveal your assignment.
God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'
When you give a gift to one of God's children, you give a gift to God.
Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you." Eli to Punchinello (p. 25)
