Words of Wisdom
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
Joy is the serious business of heaven.
C. S. Lewis
“True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.”
C.S. Lewis
“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.”
C. S. Lewis
“Now is the time to know that God is able. To connect your current reality with God’s present ability.”
Priscilla Shirer
“We often don’t realize that where God puts us is the very place we need to be to receive what He wants to give us.”
Priscilla Shirer
"Knowing that HE has the whole world in His hands means that I don’t have to have it in mine. I can stop trying to carry the things that are too big or complicated for my puny palms to hold. I can breathe. My shoulders can relax. The weight isn’t on me. It’s on Him."
Priscilla Shirer
“Ministry is when the people who hear you, don’t want more of you; they want more of Him because of what you’ve said. When you point them to God’s fire instead of trying to get attention for yourself- that’s ministry.”
Priscilla Shirer
"Your life is a crafted narrative written by a good God, who is working toward your supreme good."
Max Lucado
"Don't put limits on yourself. Not every dream will come true, and not every dream is from God. But when your dreams connect with God's plans, you'll find open doors that you never thought you'd see."
Max Lucado
"It's not the absence of storms that sets us apart. It's whom we discover in the storm: an unstirred Christ."
Max Lucado
"Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength."
Charles Spurgeon
“We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.”
John Newton
“We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"We are silent early in the morning because God should have the first word, and we are silent before going to bed because the last word also belongs to God."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
