The Door is Open

The Door is Open

 “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” I Timothy 2:5 NIV

Somewhere, sometime, somehow you got tangled up in garbage, and you’ve been avoiding God. You’ve allowed a veil of guilt to come between you and your Father. You wonder if you could ever feel close to God again.

God welcomes you. God is not avoiding you. God is not resisting you. The door is open, and God invites you in…. Max Lucado

Thought

The Scriptures are the church's book. This book, like Christ himself, is called "The Word of God."

The saints reveal God. They are advertisements, mirrors, little Christ’s. They are perhaps the most effective of all means of convincing and converting people.

Prayer meets God—ordinary prayer. You learn more of God from a few minutes of prayerful repentance than through a lifetime in a library.

Patience

Patience is refined in trying times, when you’re frustrated with the waiting and tempted to act outside of God’s will. Always seek His wisdom, and follow the instruction you receive. Remember that “those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength” (Isa. 40:31).

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. ..Mother Teresa

Quote on Gratitude

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice…Meister Eckhart

Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary…Margaret Cousins
