Just some pearls I've picked up over the last few months. I write them down and never do anything with them. Take what you want.
It's not the quantity, but the quality.
A soul realm experience with God will feel good but leaves you with no conviction. A spirit encounter with God brings change.
Confidence in your God is good. Pride is stupid.
The dog you feed the most will be the strongest. Physical. Soul. Spirit. Who has the loudest bark?
If you stay in the World, you become a part of the World.
Buy the truth and do not sell it. Proverbs 23:23
When you walk with the World and as part of the World, you lose the Word. THe longer you walk with the World, the easier it is to let that Word go.
Absence is the strongest form of presence.
I'll crown you with my love.
Will you take this wall I've built and tear it down.
If you have a dream or a shadow of a dream, chase it. What do you have to lose?
Oh I've dreamed dreams of majesty as brilliant as a billion stars.
You are infectious, spreading through me.
Water from a broken well will make you thirst again.
Never let your fear decide your fate.
Don't have a religious conversion. Have a conversation. An open dialogue with God.
Without faith it is impossible to please Him.
Where is your hope based?
Love activates faith.
"You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not" ~Epictetus
You emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.
Have a backbone, not a wishbone.
Devotion is diligence without assurance.
Faith: I pre-accept the terms of the universe and I embrace in advance what I am presently incapable of understanding.
Faith is walking face first and full speed into the dark.
I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water.
It shouldn't take hitting rock bottom to diligently seek God.
Reasoning is not necessary for faith. Faith is action without assurance.
Faith won't make sense to anyone. You will have to fully rely on God for any and all support.
What do you want to do? Follow Jesus or follow the World and all of its standards?
I want all that God has for me. Nothing less.
I want to please God not man. You must be less like the community and more like God.
