Acceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAcceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLGod will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLIf you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLI believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLNo marriage is “too dead” for the Lord to restore.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLWe have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLWe can’t solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLWe must cease striving and trust God to provide what He thinks is best and in whatever time He chooses to make it available. But this kind of trusting doesn’t come naturally. It’s a spiritual crisis of the will in which we must choose to exercise faith.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLThe size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God’s responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have – even if it’s no more than a sack lunch.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLL[God] is able to take your life, with all of the heartache, all of the pain, all of the regret, all of the missed opportunities, and use you for His glory.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLPeople who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAnother problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAuthentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLBattles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLDream big don’t let anybody or anything break your wishbone. Stay strong, full of faith, and courageous. Keep that backbone straight. And along the way, don’t forget to laugh and enjoy the journey.
