"The beauty of God is that He will always be there to pick us up after we've exhausted ourselves attempting to be Him." ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

"An idol is anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God... Idolatry is when we take good things and make them ultimate things." ~ Timothy Keller

"When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now." ~ C.S. Lewis

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" ~ Erma Bombeck

"Joy is the serious business of Heaven." ~ C. S. Lewis

"Faith is not about everything turning out OK. Faith is about being ok no matter how things turn out." ~ Unknown

"I never understood why going to church made you a hypocrite, because nobody goes to church because they are perfect. If you've got it all together, you don't need to go. You can go jogging with all the other perfect people on Sunday morning. Every time you go to church, you're confessing again- to yourself, to your family, to the people you pass on the way there, to the people who will greet you there- that you don't have it all together and that you need their support. You need some help." ~ Rich Mullins

"Dear lord, so far today I've done all right. I haven't lost my temper. I haven't been greedy. I haven't been selfish or self-indulgent, and I am thankful for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I am going to get out of bed, and from then on, I am probably going to need a lot more help." đŸ˜‰

"To love God is to love others, for they are all made in His image." ~ Francis of Assisi

"Nothing is quite so attractive in our possession as it was when coveted." ~ Anonymous

"The tip of the neighbor's iceberg often looks nice." ~ Roy A. Ngansop

"The problem with stealing quotes off the internet, is you never know if they are genuine." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"It is part of the discipline of humility that we must not spare our hand where it can perform a service and that we do not assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

No one begins life with a blank page.

We inherit languages, histories, expectations, prejudices, dreams, and unanswered questions long before we discover our own voice.

In White Teeth, Zadie Smith writes:
"The past is always tense, the future perfect."

With characteristic wit, Smith reminds us that the past never rests quietly behind us. It continues to shape the grammar of the present.

Perhaps growing up is not escaping the past.

Perhaps it is deciding which parts of it deserve to accompany us into the future.

"We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first." ~ Oswald J. Smith

"The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives." ~ Francis Chan

"You are the only Bible some unbelievers will ever read." ~ John MacArthur

"Whatever you do, pray for the ability to see your own sins, your own hypocrisy, and your own shortcomings. Never get so carried away pointing fingers that you forget you, too, fall short."

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ~ Frederick Douglass

"Your parents did the best they could with what they had, and that best might still have damaged you. Both things are true. You can honor their effort while also doing the work to undo the parts that didn't serve you. This isn't betrayal- it's maturity." ~

"There is no perfect life, no perfect job, no perfect childhood, no perfect marriage and no perfect set of people who will always do what we expect them to do.

What we have is a perfect God who is able to lead us through this imperfect life with unfailing strength. Incomparable wisdom and infinite love." ~Elizabeth Elliot

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain

"Half a truth is often a great lie." ~Benjamin Franklin

"If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it." ~Epictetus

"This is how you pray continually- not by offering prayer in words, but by joining yourself to God through your whole way of life, so that your life becomes one continuous and uninterrupted prayer." ~St. Basil the Great

"The Hebrew word Shabbat means 'to stop.' But it can also be translated 'to delight." It has this dual idea of stopping and also of joying in God and our lives in his world. The Sabbath is an entire day set aside to follow God's example, to stop and delight." ~ John Mark Comer

"I never knew a man to escape failure, in either body or mind, who worked seven days in the week." ~Sir Robert Peel

"At least one day in every seven, pull off the road and park the car in the garage. Close the door to the toolshed and turn off the computer. Stay home, not because you are sick but because you are well. Talk someone you love into being well with you. Take a nap, a walk, and hour for lunch. Test the premise that you are worth more than you can produce- that even if you spent one whole day of being good for nothing you would still be precious in God's sight. And when you get anxious because you are convinced that this is not so- remember that your own conviction is not required. This is a commandment. Your worth has already been established, even when you are not working. The purpose of the commandment is to woo you to the same truth." ~Barbara Brown Taylor
