CAN is 100 times more important than IQ
gratitude self pity
Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts... it flushes the self-pity out of our systems.
hurt jesus dirty
We will never be cleansed until we confess we are dirty. And we will never be able to wash the feet of those who have hurt us until we allow Jesus, the one we have hurt, to wash ours.
jesus punishment perfection
God didn't overlook your sins, lest he endorse them. He didn't punish you, lest he destroy you. He instead found a way to punish the sin and preserve the sinner. Jesus took your punishment, and God gave you credit for Jesus' perfection.
evil stupidity doe
God's love never ceases. Never. Though we spurn him. Ignore him. Reject him. Despise him. Disobey him. He will not change. Our evil cannot diminish his love. Our goodness cannot increase it. Our faith does not earn it any more than our stupidity jeopardizes it. God doesn't love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God's love never ceases.
reality secret
The secret of loving is living loved.
endure pondering permanence
You can endure change by pondering His permanence.
jesus misunderstood hints
There is not a hint of one person who was afraid to draw near him [Jesus]. There were those who mocked him. There were those who were envious of him. There were those who misunderstood him. There were those who revered him. But there was not one person who considered him too holy, too divine, or too celestial to touch. There was not one person who was reluctant to approach him for fear of being rejected.
ignorance grace mercy
Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace... & nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy
christian gratitude thank-you-god
Gratitude develops faith. The surest path out of a slump is marked by the road sign "thank you, God."
phrases horror hell
One phrase summarizes the horror of hell. "God isn't there."
giving remember glad
Aren't you glad that God doesn't give you only that which you remember to thank him for?
pain people wonder
Sometimes I wonder if we don't see Christ's love as much in the people he tolerated as in the pain he endured.
men giving arrogance
Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.
