Thoughts to Remember

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor. 3:17

Righteousness is shown by love. Don’t get caught up in rules of prideful living.

Don’t let your own ego or pride get in the way of serving God or others.

Only To Be What He Wants Me To Be
Every Moment Of Every Day.
Yielded Completely To Jesus Alone,
Every Step Of This Pilgrim Way.

Just To Be Clay In The Potter’s Hand,
Ready To Do What His Word Commands.
Only To Be What He Wants Me To Be,
Every Moment Of Every Day

Patience is better than power and controlling one’s emotions is better than capturing a city. Proverbs 16:32

“My Loving Lord, Make us humble so that we don’t be egoistic in relationships, Make us gentle so that we don’t become fierce at each other’s mistakes, Warm our hearts so that we become embodiment of love on this earth” Amen

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill

…we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying and it simply will not work. - A. J. Tozer

Your service to God is between you and Him. Don’t look for the praise and adoration of others.

Every person is important to God whether in faith or when struggling. Jesus cares enough to leave the crowd and look for and rescue you. We are all special to Him.

The higher your structure is to be the deeper must be its foundation. - St. Augustine

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:21. Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit - you choose. 

 

Sin is serious business. People watch to see how Christians act and react, the words they use, the tone of their voice. Make sure a child can’t be led to behave in ways that do not honor God by watching you. 

Life in His Kingdom is not all about us, it’s all about Him (Jesus).

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. - Mother Teresa

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Luke 5:31

No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.  - E. M. Bounds

We have committed the Golden Rule to memory, let us now commit it to life. - Edwin Markham

People are invaluable. Showing love and compassion to them is more important than rules.

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. - James 3:7-8

No man is more cheated than the selfish man. -Henry Ward Beecher

The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. - James 3:17

Prayer should come from the heart. Trying to impress God with fancy words will not fool Him.

Each talent, skill and ability you have is a gift from God and He wants you to use each one to honor Him and share His love with others.
