“God wants us to think correctly… . He wants us to forsake the thoughts that are built on lies … and He wants us to embrace truth… . How can we do that? There are four imperatives: (1) We must ask God to make us aware of our faulty thinking; (2) we must ask His Spirit to conform us to His image; (3) we must consciously deny the wrong things we think; and (4) we must consciously replace those wrong thoughts with truth.”

“When we engage in the act of prayer itself, there is no preparing, no getting the right words, no posture to take, no mood to assume. We simply do it. Prayer is primal speech. We do not first learn to do it, and then proceed to do it; we do it, in the doing we find out what we are doing, and then deepen and mature in it.”

— Edmund Clowney

“You must drop your sin to draw near to Him, but it is an infinitely worthwhile exchange. Sin hinders prayer and fellowship. Confess it, repent of it, right your wrongs, and get closer to the heart of God.”

Patience is so closely linked with love that if I were to thank someone for loving me, it feels more correct to say “thank you for being patient with me” than simply saying “thank you for loving me” because patience is the root of human love, and the deeper the gratitude goes, the more it touches their heart.

i want a soft connection. i want to be asked how my day went and if i need anything. i want forehead kisses. i want the back of my hand kissed at red lights. i want to be asked how i’m mentally feeling. i want to hold hands everywhere we go. i want romantic gestures. i want my hair played in at the most unexpected moments. i want silent eye connections that lead to smiles. i want to take random walks.

“It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God.”

“One of the best feelings is finding someone who really gets you. A person who lets you be vulnerable and honest. The kind of person who encourages you to push past your flaws because they accept you as you are. Someone who never tells you that you’re too much of this and too little of that. Because to them you’re just enough of everything they love.”

— Sylvester McNutt

“I take much pleasure in being alone but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.”

— Charles Bukowski

“The sin of the heart affects the prayers of the mouth. There is a cleansing that must happen before we enter the throne room of God. There is an emptying that must take place before God occupies the throne of our heart. The interference must be dealt with so the communication will be clear.”

“What a better world it would be if all marriages centred on commitment rather than convenience, on giving rather than receiving, and on God rather than self!”

— Almost Amish, Nancy Sleeth
