believe believe-in-god
We're called to do more than believe in God, we're called to live in God.
used accomplish gods-will
All God makes is good. Can it be that that which seems to oppose the will of God actually is used of Him to accomplish the will of God?
giving needs need-god
Because nothing is greater and we have no greater need, God gives God.
ends notion gods-love
All fear is but the notion that God's love ends.
thank-god stories thanks
Faith thanks God in the middle of the story.
bestowed edit god mine
I write a chapter, then edit it and edit it and edit it and edit it. I don't think we mine creativity from within. It's bestowed from on high, from God.
counting discovered god thousand
Counting one thousand gifts, I discovered I could count on God.
bottle catching falling god
When we can't bottle our tears up anymore, God catches every one in His bottle. God's catching every falling tear because He won't let us fall apart.
early falls god good heavy july life lived nature neglect nights perfume rain rise rivers roses run song stars summer thanks wild wound
I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.
empty fast patient writer
I'm not a fast writer at all. I come empty and wait upon the Lord. So it really is all a waiting process, a patient process.
bore boring deep heart hole romantics
The real romantics are the boring ones - they let another heart bore a hole deep into theirs.
gratitude fall garden
Our [people's] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks.
children grateful men
I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven." Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.
gratitude stress giving
Going ahead in the midst of the stressful circumstances and giving thanks in that moment - you can't simultaneously feel stress and gratitude at the same time. So as a parent, to go ahead and start to give thanks to God resets the whole family.
