There is a story behind every person, a reason why they are the way they are. Don’t be quick to judge. Be kind, show love and assume the best.
From Darkness To Light
if we donβt meet ppl in the darkness, how will we EVER expect them to follow us into the light?
A profound comment to one of my posts, by sister in ChristΒ Adjustedsails
Gratitude Unlocks The Fullness Of Life
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.Β It turns what we have into enough, and more.Β It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.Β It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.Β Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
Overflowing With Hope
βThe Samaritan woman grasped what He said with fervor that came from an awareness of her real need. The transaction was fascinating. She has come with a bucket. He sent her back with a spring of living water. She had come as a reject. He sent her back being accepted by God Himself. She came wounded. He sent her back whole. She came laden with questions. He sent her back as a source for answers. She came living a life of quiet desperation. She ran back overflowing with hope. The disciples missed it all. It was lunchtime for them.β
Ravi Zacharias
We Want The Crown Without The Cross.
Mankind wants glory. We want health. We want wealth. We want happiness. We want all our felt needs met, all our little human itches scratched. We want a painless life. We want the crown without the cross. We want the gain without the pain. We want the words of Christβs salvation to be easy.
John MacArthur
Silly Idea
A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is… A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.
C S Lewis
What Are We Waiting For?
There are fathers waiting until other obligations are less demanding to become acquainted with their sons.Β There are mothers who sincerely intend to be more attentive to their daughters.Β There are husbands and wives who are going to be more understanding.Β But time does not draw people closer.Β When in the world are we going to begin to live as if we understood that this is life?Β This is our time, our dayβ¦and it is passing.Β What are we waiting for?

Tomorrow

Always put off until tomorrow what you shouldnβt do at all.

Nobody Ever Outgrows Scripture

Walk In The Way

There is only one basis for really enjoying life, and that is, to walk in the way in which God leads you. Then you are prepared to find delight in all sorts of wayward incidentsβ¦.When a man is drifting through life, seeking nothing outside of self-gratification, the world must become increasingly a barren and forbidding wilderness. But it is wonderful how many delights fall to the lot of him who is led by God. For such a one the clasp of a friendβs hand, a cool drink in the heat of noon, a merry salutation from a passing traveler, a glimpse of beauty by the road, a quiet resting place at night, are all full of unspeakable pleasure.

Verbal Sunshine

Be generous with encouragement. It is verbal sunshine. It costs nothing and it warms hearts.
God’s Special Work Of Art

Each one of us is God’s special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives. God, the master artist, is most concerned about expressing Himself- His thoughts and His intentions- through what He paints in our character; He wants to paint a beautiful portrait of His Son in and through your life. A painting like no other in all of time.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Not Necessarily Doubting

We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.
