LIFE-QUOTES: SHORT MEANDERINGS #4


* God is never disappointed with us; He never expected anything in the first place... He knows we are dirt!
* God takes our human "disappointments", changes one letter, and makes them “His appointments”, turning what the enemy meant for evil into His purposeful good.
* Hallelujah is more than a call to Praise the Lord... It is a command! The stones are our understudies...
* Satan will thresh our faith against the hard realities of life, breaking the husk... exposing the small naked kernel... winnowing the chaff, but the wheat belongs to Jesus.
* Walking worthy is a life of worship... more of a dance than a walk... strengthened by the joy of the Lord.
* Godliness is living worship, a life demonstrating in thought, conversation and conduct the character and nature of Christ.
* Temptation’s response: In Christ I died, in His name I refuse... I am dead to that....
* True Godly success comes with no absolutes, no finish line... and no whining...
* God did not allow Christ to suffer unto death that His children might not suffer... but that their suffering might be like His Son’s.
* Personal holiness is the product of Self denial, the price of admission to the greatest experience on earth.
* Knowing God is necessary, being known by God... now that is essential.
* There is no peace but the peace of knowing we are known by Him.
* Our life is a living sacrifice, dying daily to live, our mindset is God’s Kingdom, and our stronghold is obedience.
* God’s love is not an entitlement, it’s a grace we simply cannot fathom the why for...
* "Give no place to the devil." It's a command... to be pure of heart.
* We fall short of God's glory when we glory in our own glory.
* Gethsemane is the place we go when there is no other place to go... but God.
* Gethsemane awaits each of us, the defining moment of our transformation, when we find out who we really are underneath all of our rhetoric.
* Faith takes title deed to our hope as both proof of and conviction in hope’s unseen reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to our senses.
* God’s truth is like peeling an onion; each layer deepens our understanding and brings forth more tears.
* You hold my breath in Your hands and own all my ways. So I will glorify You, my soul gives You praise. (Daniel 5: 23)
