love-is anchors heaven
You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.
church deeds shows
The church is never a place to show off. Do your good deeds quietly. Serve; don't seek to be seen
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.
worry max praying
No one can pray and worry at the same time.
sweat safety worry
Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. Seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. Seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first His kingdom and you will find it. On that, we can depend and never worry.
faith christian focus
Focus on giants - you stumble. Focus on God - Giants tumble.
prayer differences awkward
Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
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.
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.
prayer voice demand
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
jesus prayer heart
Prayer is the hand of faith on the door knob of your heart, inviting Jesus to enter.
jesus heart passion
God rewards those who seek Him. Not those who seek doctrine of religion or systems or creeds. Many settle for these lesser passions, but the reward goes to those who settle for nothing less than Jesus himself. And what is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? Nothing short of the heart of Jesus.
happy-life done valuable
You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done - but simply because you are.
would-be refrigerators ifs
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
