Thoughts

~ You who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up some day; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your minds that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them; you who are letting your neighbor starve until you hear that he is dying of starvation or letting your friend's heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy, which you mean to give him some day; if you could only know and see and feel all of a sudden that time is short, how it would break the "spell."  How you would go instantly and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do. - Phillips Brooks

~ With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? - A. W. Tozer

~ Saints are men who permit God's forgiveness to come into them so fully that not only are their sins washed out, but also their very selves, their egos, and the root of their self-will.  And again we see, the intensity of their power really to forgive is in exact proportion to the degree that they have permitted themselves to be forgiven and so brought back to God. - Unknown

~ God doesn't call people who are qualified.  He calls people who are willing, and then He qualifies them. - Richard Parker

~ Jesus taught, first, that a man's business is to do the will of God; second, that God takes upon Himself the care of that man; third, therefore, that a man must never be afraid of anything, and so, fourth, be left free to love God with all his heart, and his neighbor as himself. - George MacDonald

~ We need the whole song, all the verses and the choruses to serve us as our own story unfolds because- trust me- life is hard, but God is good. - Gloria Gaither

~ Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes real happiness.  It is not obtained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. - Helen Keller

~ Forgiveness is the greatest expression of love. - Unknown

~ Faith is knowing that God is who He says He is, has what He says He has and will do what He says He will do and then putting ourselves in a position where our lives depend on it. - Graham Steele

~ The whole point of this life is the healing of the heart's eye through which God is seen. - Augustine of Hippo

~ God wants to speak into areas of your life you have never even considered.  He wants to give you words and wisdom you didn't think were possible.  He desires to do exceedingly more than you can hope or expect. - Margaret Feinberg

~ The words of the Gospels, repeated to a child, a workman or a peasant, do not surprise him in the least.  Nothing is told with a view to effect.  Not a word in the Gospels is intended to startle. - Ernest Hello
