Life has many twists and turns and sometimes what looks like a very bad day can just be clearing the way for good things to come. - J Kim Wright
There is noThere is no more lovely, friendly or charming relationship, communion or company, than a good marriage. Martin Luther
Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man. Watchman Nee If we allow natural affection and human admiration or the lack of these to govern our efforts we will surely fail in our work and our lives shall be ruined. To obtain genuine fruitfulness we frequently need to disregard fleshly relationships. Our thoughts and desires must be offered completely to the Lord. Watchman Nee Aloneness can lead to loneliness. God's preventative for loneliness is intimacy - meaningful, open, sharing relationships with one another. In Christ we have the capacity for the fulfilling sense of belonging which comes from intimate fellowship with God and with other believers. Author: Neil T. Anderson To be loved by God is the highest relationship, the highest achievement, and the highest position in life. Author: Henry Blackaby We may not say that we have the answers. Questions of how to conduct oneself as a Christian, or how to serve as a Christian, must be answered by life itself- the life of the individual in his direct responsible relationship to God. Author: Elisabeth Elliot "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." ~ Aristotle ~
"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."~ William Faulkner ~ "Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake..." ~ Francis Bacon, Sr. ~ "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." ~ George Bernard Shaw "People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."~ Norman Vincent Peale ~ "The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."~ Walter Bagehot ~ "There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it."~ Napoleon Hill ~ "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."~ St. Francis of Assisi ~ Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending upon her concept of God. - A.W.Tozer
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to men. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book. - Abraham Lincoln Through the clouds of midnight, This bright promise shone, I will never leave thee, Never leave thee alone. - Anonymous Only God can fully satisfy the hungry heart of man.- Hugh Black The world will never starve for want of wonders. - Gilbert Keith Chesterton Without the Way there is no going; without the Truth there is no knowing; without the Life there is no living. -Thomas A Kempis Is your place a small place? Tend it with care; He set you there. Is your place a large place? Guard it with care! He set you there. Whate'er your place, it is Not yours alone, but his Who set you there. -John Oxenham Our God is at home with the rolling spheres, And at home with broken hearts. - M. P. Ferguson One can believe intellectually in the efficacy of prayer and never do any praying. --Catherine Marshall Spend your time counting your blessings, not airing your complaints
Success is a journey, not a destination Keep your face to the SONshine and you cannot see the shadow "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." ~ John Lennon
"We don't accomplish anything in this world alone...and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something." ~ Sandra Day O'Connor "Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good." ~ John Milton "We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects." ~ Herman Melville Without the Way there is no going; without the Truth there is no knowing; without the Life there is no living. -Thomas A Kempis
Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the isolation by closing down. Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. Thomas Merton Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. Barbara de Angelis Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Aristotle Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. James A. Baldwin Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. Thomas Merton Work as if you were to live a hundred years, pray as if you were to die tomorrow. --Benjamin Franklin
Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome.-- Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English Author
