Repentance

It is not repentance that saves me; repentance is the sign that I realize what God has done in Christ Jesus. - Oswald Chambers

Beware.....

"Beware of manufacturing a god of your own: A god who is all mercy but not just, a god who is all love, but not holy, a god who has a heaven for everybody but a hell for none ... Such a god is an idol of your own. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible." -J.C. Rylee

Max Lucado Quote

"We've been comforted by our father, conformed by his nature, consumed by our creator, convicted by his character, constrained by his power, commissioned by our teacher, and compelled by his attention to our prayers." - Max Lucado

God

God is so big He can cover the whole world with His Love and so small He can curl up inside your heart.....

Contented

"Contented. An easy word to say. A hard attitude to have. To be contented is to have an uncomplaining acceptance of one's lot. It is to be happy enough with what one has or is. It is not wanting something more. In a nutshell, it means to be satisfied." CALL HER BLESSED by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Casselberry pg 43

Philippians 4:10-13 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Oswald Chambers Quote

"How long is it going to take God to free us from the morbid habit of thinking about ourselves? We must get sick unto death of ourselves, until there is no longer any surprise at anything God can tell us about ourselves. There is only one place where we are right and that is in Christ Jesus." - Oswald Chambers

Defination of Faith

Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. C.S. Lewis

Definition of Abundance

I started reading "Secrets of the Vine" by Bruce Wilkinson.
Here are 2 quotes from the book that have impacted me already!

"Abundance- that beautiful overflow of true worth in a person's life-
is exactly what you and I were born for."



"For disciples who have ever wondered if a life of extraordinary abundance just might be their birthright."

Thoughts about surrender

It's been a while since I blogged my own thoughts.... God's been teaching me alot about surrender lately. Here is a few lines from my journal:

God's been teaching me to raise my arms in surrender and while my hands are lifted high to PRAISE HIM! Pretty cool concept! It's helped me recognize when my hands aren't raised I'm not in submission to His plan or His purpose!

Manly Quote

“The world cries for men who are strong, strong in conviction; to lead; to stand; to suffer. I pray that you will be that kind of man- glad that God made you a man- glad to shoulder the burden of manliness in a time that to do so will often lead to contempt.”
~Elisabeth Elliot to her nephew Pete
