"This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through" is indeed true. It is our hope,
That I am here in The United States of America in 2016 to minister to
all those around me as long as I have breath is also true. Such loving
obedience is proof to the world that our hope is true.
-----------------
The true disciple comes to Jesus recognizing that his righteousness is
as putrid as the filthy rags wrapped around the wounds of the leper.
His prayer: "Nothing in my hands I bring; only to Thy cross I cling."
------------------
When I hate my enemies and refuse to pray for their spiritual
well-being, my mind is being conformed not transformed. I am an enemy
of God's will.
--------------------
Envy, jealousy, murmuring, complaining, coveting, gossip, discontentment are all synonyms for idolatry.
--------------------
The reason I struggle with commandments two through ten? I keep
resisting--and refusing to embrace--the demands placed on my life by
commandment number one: "You will have no other gods before Me."
-------------------
The key to discontentment, a loss of joy, and the failure to sense His
presence and His love: Keep living like you are the most important
person in your life.
--------------------
Love is not a feeling; it's a promise.
-------------------
Joy is not an escape from sorrow. It is the power that transforms the wounded and hurting into one of God's comforters.
-------------------
Peace is not an escape from the spiritual struggle--the inner spiritual
warfare. It is the confidence that God's armor and the sword of the
Spirit guarantee the victory through the Lord Jesus Christ.
