I cannot make myself right with God, I cannot make my life perfect; I can only be right with God if I accept the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ as an ABSOLUTE GIFT.
Am I humble enough to accept it?
I have to resign every kind of claim
and cease from every effort,
and leave myself [...]

You must understand how easily a heart can be stolen.
You must purpose to be [...]

If I believe that God works most suprememly in my life when I come to Him in quietness, and recieve His thoughts and strength,
then why don’t I place a higher priority on it?
-Gail MacDonald
Why do I argue with myself that I am too busy?
For “my” strength is not really my own.
It is only His [...]

We have:
Gentle horses for gentle people.
Spirited horses for spirited people.
And for people who don’t like to ride,
We have horses that don’t like to be ridden.

It’s like the colors of a painting. The black clouds are oppressive by themselves, but when the brilliant hues of a sunrise are added to the picture, the painting is striking. The black clouds of our lives are not pleasant, but when we can see the whole picture in eternity, we will understand just why [...]

Without Christ, the holiness of God had to be protected from us. But now, because of Christ, we may come near and feast our hearts on the fullness of the flaming beauty of God’s holiness.
We will stand in everlasting awe.
Therefore, do not fear to come.
But, COME THROUGH CHRIST.
-John Piper
“Therefore…we have confidence to enter

“Tree-hugging” in a pretty park in Seattle. [grin]

Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
“Be still, and know that I am God…”
-Psalm 46:10

He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
God hath not promised smooth roads and [...]

Jesus, You be lifted high in my life, And I fall to my knees, So it's You that they see,
Not I.
Jesus, You be lifted high!
