God can do more through one simple act of obedience than we can do through our most extravagant plans.

I had asked him many times why he stayed, and he always said the same thing: ‘Because I love you, and I wanted to, and I knew you were in there.’ No matter how damaged I had been, he had loved me enough to still see me somewhere inside.

Occasionally weep deeply over the life you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Then wash your face. Trust God. And embrace the life you have.

John Piper (via pureblyss)

[wordsnquotes]

If you meet somebody and your heart pounds, your hands shake, your knees go weak, that’s not the one. When you meet your ‘soul mate’ you’ll feel calm. No anxiety, no agitation.

Get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return.

I have found the following simple insight from Ralph Waldo Emerson to be profoundly true: ‘A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver for five minutes longer.’ There are times when being brave ‘five minutes longer’ actually means being quiet when you are attacked, which allows God to have the final word. At other times ‘braver five minutes longer’ means standing your ground and being constant. Being ‘braver five minutes longer’ is never yielding voice or ground when the defenseless are under attack. Often battles are won, lies are exposed, and enemies are conquered because you are the last one standing on the field. Courage will keep you steadfast.

Today, I saw Jesus alive. I hid from him because I was ashamed. When He saw me, He ran to me. My body was weak and my knees buckled, but He caught me… And embraced me. As I held on to His white garments tightly, I cried ‘Don’t leave me!’ His words were like honey as He whispered in my ear, ‘I will always be with you.’
