Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.”
— Emily Giffin
... Something Borrowed.
To grow in your passion for what Jesus has done, increase your understanding of what He has done. Never be content with your grasp of the gospel. The gospel is life-permeating, world-altering, universe-changing truth. It has more facets than any diamond. Its depths man will never exhaust.
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.
Free me from my evil passions and heal my heart of all disordered love so that once I am interiorly healed and purified I may become more ready to love You, stronger to endure suffering for You, and more steadfast in persevering in You.
... Thomas a Kempis , The Imitation of Christ (via
alicianab)
All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
... Emerson
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
... Emerson
When your prayer life and your walk with God becomes COMPLETELY self-less, that’s when you will see love, change, and miracles.
