faith christian focus
Focus on giants - you stumble. Focus on God - Giants tumble.
thinking
I think we have such a crown jewel in the forgiveness of God, and it changes people's lives.
kindness grace want
Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.
stars needs facts
The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. And that is a fact. So if you need to brag, brag about that.
full-of-yourself
God can't fill you when you are already full of yourself.
butterfly loss thinking
We see a hearse; we think sorrow. We see a grave; we think despair. We hear of a death; we think of a loss. Not so in heaven. When heaven sees a breathless body, it sees the vacated cocoon & the liberated butterfly.
inspirational voice giving
Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.
inspirational forgiveness doors
Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realising you were the prisoner!
goal long want
There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it's to live.
differences grace-and-mercy decision
There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.
kind like-you christianity
[ Christianity], in and of itself, sets itself apart inherently, and so, for somebody to say, Well it just seems to me like you can pick between all these religions and still have the same thing. Its kind of like somebody saying, You could pick between 80 bananas and one apple and say you have a banana. You cant call that apple a banana.
perfect use tests
God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test , and teach.
kindness self giving
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
revenge fire choices
Resentment is when you allow what’s eating you to eat you up. Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist. Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter. And mercy is the choice that can set them all free.
