"You can make it through your emotional trials. Jesus wasn't led by His feelings, and you don't have to be either. When God lets things affect you emotionally, seize the moment and view it as an opportunity to step into a place of absolute trust in God. "
Joyce Meyer
"Happily ever after" belongs at the end of a fairy tale, not in a description of the Christian life.
- Swindoll
"I'm a child of God by grace and grace alone..."
Dustin Kensrue- Grace Alone
"And I did all of this to have a relationship with you. Will you follow me?"
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.
Phillips Brooks - Going up to Jerusalem, Twenty Sermons (via d0maneek)
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:11-14 NIV)
How often do we not recognize Jesus through our tears? (via timdurlach)
"As difficult as it may be for you to believe this today, the Master knows what He's doing. Your Savior knows your breaking point. The bruising and crushing and melting process is designed to reshape you, not ruin you. Your value is increasing the longer He lingers over you." - Swindoll
“I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?" "For infinite happiness," said the Spirit. "You can step out into it at any moment...” - C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
"You can't see anything properly while your eyes are blurred with tears. You can't, in most things, get what you want if you want it too desperately: anyway, you can't get the best out of it."
A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis
I had feelings of fear about the future...The devil kept on whispering, "It's all right now, but what about afterward? You are going to be very lonely".... And I turned to my God in a kind of desperation and said, "Lord, what can I do? How can I go on to the end?” And He said, "None of them that trust in me shall be desolate." That word has been with me ever since.
– Amy Carmichael
Psalm 119: 25-32
"I’m feeling terrible—I couldn’t feel worse! Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember? When I told my story, you responded; train me well in your deep wisdom. Help me understand these things inside and out so I can ponder your miracle-wonders. My sad life’s dilapidated, a falling-down barn; build me up again by your Word. Barricade the road that goes Nowhere; grace me with your clear revelation. I choose the true road to Somewhere, I post your road signs at every curve and corner. I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me; God, don’t let me down! I’ll run the course you lay out for me if you’ll just show me how."
"He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants." - Chambers
Isaiah 48:9
"To call God and me unequal partners is a laughable understatement. And yet by inviting us to do kingdom work on earth, God has indeed set up a kind of odd-couple alliance. From the Bible's prayers I learn that God wants us to keep it in the alliance, to come in person with our complaints. If I march through life pretending to smile while inside I bleed, I dishonor the relationship." - Philip Yancey (Prayer 66,68)
When Elijah wanted to give up, God said get up. 1 Kings 19:4-9
God's compassionate response to a heated, self-centered man: "The LORD replied, 'Is it right for you to be angry about this?'" Jonah 4:4
"Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?"
"Does God forsake just those who serve Him best? Well, He who served Him best of all said, near His tortured death, 'Why hast thou forsaken me?' When God becomes man, that Man, of all others, is least comforted by God, at His greatest need. There is a mystery here which, even if I had the power, I might not have the courage to explore. Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle." - C.S. Lewis
Is God Unfair?
"Unfairness is no easier for us to swallow than it was for Job thousands of years ago. Consider the most common curse word in the English language: "God" followed by the word "damn." People say it not only in the face of great tragedy, but also when their cars won't start, when a favored sports team loses, when it rains on their picnic. That oath renders an instinctive judgment that life ought to be fair and that God should somehow "do a better job" of running his world." - Yancey
