Aging is God’s idea. It’s one of the ways he keeps us headed homeward.
How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don’t have. You still have your relationship with God. No one can take that.
Be kind to yourself. God thinks you’re worth his kindness. And he’s a good judge of character.
Don’t see yourself as a product of your parents DNA, but rather as a brand new idea from heaven.
When it comes to Christ, you’ve got to do the same. Call him crazy, or crown him as king. Dismiss him as a fraud, or declare him to be God. Walk away from him, or bow before him, but don’t play games with him.
When Jesus died on the cross, so did your sin; when He rose from the dead, so did your HOPE.
God has no cousins, only children.
Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.
God is not a miser with his grace. Your cup may be low in cash or clout, but it is overflowing with mercy.
Changing directions in life is not tragic. Losing passion in life is.
Gratitude. More aware of what you have than what you don’t. Recognizing the treasure in the simple – a child’s hug, fertile soil, a golden sunset. Relishing in the comfort of the common.
A Christian in his surroundings should encourage everyone to be better, instead of being the one who stoops to be like everyone else.
Have you been called to go out on a limb for God? You can bet it won’t be easy. Limb-climbing has never been easy. Ask Joseph. Or, better yet, ask Jesus. He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.
Actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!
God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.
Waiting is a sustained effort to stay focused on God through prayer and belief.
God cast you in His play, wrote you into His story. He has a definite direction for your life. Fulfill it and enjoy fulfillment. Play the part God prepared for you and get ready for some great days.
Being religious without knowing the cross is like owning a Mercedes with no motor. Pretty package, but where is your power?
The ultimate solution to POVERTY is found in the COMPASSION of God’s people.
It’s God’s job to run the world. Sometimes we accomplish more by doing less.
