“When you’re full of yourself, God can’t fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.”

Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”

People are watching the way we act, more than they are listening to what we say.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.

When grace moves in guilt moves out.

The duty of the branch is to cling to the vine.

Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, “I can clean that if you want.” And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it.

Refusing to forgive is like ingesting a lethal dose of poison and hoping it kills my enemy.

God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.

Faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.

Jesus humbled himself. He went from commanding angels to sleeping in the straw. From holding stars to clutching Mary’s finger. The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier. Why? Because that’s what love does. It puts the beloved before itself.

God’s highest desire is not to make us rich, successful or popular. His goal is to make us His

You’re special-not because of what you have. You’re special because of who you are.

The Bible is the story of two gardens. Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand.

Concerning the harsh treatment of the body for our Lord’s sake, I would say, avoid anything that would cause the shedding even of a drop of blood.

The servant of God earns half a doctorate through illness.

We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.

God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.

Enrich your soul in the great goodness of God: The Father is your table, the Son is your food, and the Holy Spirit waits on you and then makes His dwelling in you.

Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.

Wives don’t need a good provider, they need a Godly man who will help them trust in The Provider – God!!

I want to surrender to the feelings and shapes of words and not stop until I am clearly heard by myself and my God.
