Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.
And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him.
When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.
Love is the strongest force in the universe
Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.
Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings... It's something we make inside ourselves.
It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.
Love is the strongest force in the world.
Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.
Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can give us the perfect way.
There are no 'ifs' in God's Kingdom. His timing is perfect. His will is our hiding place. Lord Jesus, keep me in Your will! Don't let me go mad by poking about outside it.
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.
Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still.
Don't bother to give God instructions; just report for duty.
It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.
Dear Jesus...how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here.
If God has shown us bad times ahead, it's enough for me that He knows about them. That's why He sometimes shows us things, you know - to tell us that this too is in His hands.
Love is larger than the walls which shut it in.
