threefold cord

Three things saying the same thing, the first two divinely tied to the latter.

"Our Father God is love, essential love, and therefore cannot possibly desire for his child anything but what is best.

He is all wise and therefore know just what that best is.

He is all-powerful and thereore can give what he want to give.

His timing, his way of showing, and the thing shown may not be at all according to the child's expecation. But never mind. The Father will give all the help his child needs, will take him by the hand, and the child will learn." -Elisabeth Elliot 'God's Guidance: A Slow and Certain Light'

"Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me"

-'Your Love is Strong' Jon Foreman

"And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin" Matthew 6:28

Always

Even when life is crashing around us, even when the sun is shining, and the birds are singing. In love, in despair, in hopelessness, in joy, you cannot go wrong with this verse.

"So you, by the help of your God, return hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for you God." Hosea 12:6

A Few Snapshots of Happiness

If you read my blog, you already know I'm a little weird. I have this file on my computer of pictures. Picture that inspire me, make me think, or make me happy. And when I'm sad, or in a melancholy mood, I go through these pictures, and I want to share a few of them with you. =)

Dear to My Heart

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." Martin Luther King, Jr

"Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us." AW Tozer

"For the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught." Proverbs 3:26

"I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind." AW Tozer

"Without Christ I am a fish out of water, with Christ I am in an ocean of love." -Sadhu Sunder Singh

In everyone's heart there is a dove and a crow, the one you feed more is the one that will grow.

"When we worry, we put faith in the Devil."-Spurgeon

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." -Winston Churchill

"Never surrender." -Billy Mitchell; Donkey Kong Champion

"Love again just not each other"-@Joshuajhun

"Trying to be happy without a sense of God's presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun." AW Tozer

"If you watch what you think, you won't have to watch what you say."@billjohnsonBJM

Yesterday, a man brought up a few books to buy and on a last minute whim he bought a $25 giftcard. Upon leaving, he forgot his giftcard; when I reminded him about it, he replied it was for the customers behind him. It made their day and my day too. I love nice people. :)

I saw Philippians 2:3 lived out

"Don nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider other better than yourselves."

Smile, this is Funny =)

"In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it--one from the house of David--one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness." Isaiah 16:5

I can not even comprehend how much our God loves us. He sits upon a throne of love, and speeds the cause of righteousness. He does not have a bureaucracy, does not inflict pain recklessly, and seeks justice for all.

Mind=Blown.

Sound Familiar?

"For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him." Isaiah 64:4 (apx 700B.C.)

"However, as it is written; “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9 (apx 55 A.D.)

God's Promises remain the same, even over the span of time.

Listen to the Big Guy

Learn to listen to the Big Guy, to Mr. G-O-D.

Sometimes people tell you an idea, even if it's a lot of godly people, from their perspective things can look great. But God is shaking His head no.

Learning to listen to God, and actually doing what He says. So often I listen to others above the voice of God.
