Give Me All Of You!!!

Click blue logo for more Christian quotes

โ€œGive me all of you!!! I donโ€™t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I donโ€™t want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self—in my image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you Myself. My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.โ€

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

The Truth Is…

Verse 3D Logo

ย The LIE

Genesis 3:4-5ย The Voice

Serpent: Die? No, youโ€™ll not die. God is playing games with you. 5 The truth is that God knows the day you eat the fruit from that tree you will awaken something powerful in you and become like Him: possessing knowledge of both good and evil.

My Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

Do you hear the whispers thet are making you feel like your missing out on something, you need more to be finally fulfilled, telling you that you need the latest โ€ฆโ€ฆ……(fill in the blank with any worldly/created item) ย to be satisfied?!

Itโ€™s a LIE, and we still fall for it everyday!

ย The Truthย 

2 Peter 1:3-4ย The Voice

His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect Godโ€™s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. Through these things, we have received Godโ€™s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature.

God took the first step to rescue us from this corrupt world. He has granted us His power, revealed to us true knowledge, and spoken to us great promises. He has done all this for a reason: that we might participate in His own nature and reflect His own life. But we are not passive observers of Godโ€™s saving actions. We must receive His grace, grow in knowledge, and join Him in this work of redemption.

Listen out for the LIE, then, remember we have everything we need in Jesus!

Your Words Reveal Whatโ€™s Within Your Heart

Verse Logo

Luke 6:44-46ย The Voice

You can know a tree by the fruit it bears. You donโ€™t find figs on a thorn bush, and you canโ€™t pick grapes from a briar bush. Itโ€™s the same with people. A person full of goodness in his heart produces good things; a person with an evil reservoir in his heart pours out evil things. The heart overflows in the words a person speaks; your words reveal whatโ€™s within your heart.

What good is it to mouth the words, โ€œLord! Lord!โ€ if you donโ€™t live by My teachings?

The Most Beautiful Part

Quote Logo

A traveler, as he passed through a forest, saw a part of a huge oak, which appeared misshapen, and almost seemed to spoil the scenery. “If,” sad he, “I was the owner of this forest, I would cut down that tree.” But when he had ascended the hill, and taken a full view of the forest, this same tree appeared the most beautiful part of the landscape. “How erroneously,” said he, “I judged when I saw only a part!” The full view, the harmony and proportion of things, are all necessary to clear up our judgment.

Norfolk Lavender Ltd was founded in 1932. Linn Chilvers supplied the plants and the labour. Francis Dusgate of Fring Hall provided the land.
