Unchanging

“Walk out into the daylight sober, dressed up in faith, love, and the hope of salvation.”  I Thessalonians 5:8, the Message

Don’t put your hope into things that change—relationships, money, talents, beauty, even health. Set your sights on the one thing that can never change: trust in your heavenly Father…Max Lucado

Patience

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. ..Mother Teresa

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given…Mother Teresa

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go…Mother Teresa

Thought

Faith unites the soul with Christ as a bride is united with her bridegroom. Everything that they have is held in common, whether good or evil. So the believer can boast of and glory in whatever Christ possesses, as though it were his or her own; and whatever the believer has, Christ claims as his own. Christ is full of grace, life and salvation. The human soul is full of sins, death and damnation. Now let faith come between them. Sins, death and damnation will be Christ’s. And grace, life and salvation will be the believer’s…Martin Luther

From the Bible

You may not know me, but I know everything about you

Psalms 139:1  

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

I know when you sit down and when you rise up

Psalms 139:2  

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
