The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
Timothy Keller
We are one spiritual ethnicity in Christ.
DA Horton (Stonegate Church)
Interesting.
It’s also easy to forget that the Christian life is not just about running from sin, but running to Him. God didn’t merely forgive you, but He gave you a mission. He made you for something. The spiritual walk isn’t just sin-avoidance, but walking intentionally into God’s purposes.

The Path of Life
Do you ever feel as if life is like a maze? Imagine what walking through a maze is like. You can’t see exactly what’s ahead. It may seem as if you are going in the right direction at times and then find out it is a dead end and you have to turn back. Sometimes I think of my life like a maze. Mazes can feel hopeless if we don’t have someone leading us who knows the way. Fortunately, life doesn’t have to be a hopeless maze when we have Jesus going before us and guiding us on the path. Sure, life is going to throw obstacles at us, but I would much rather go through those obstacles with Jesus than without. Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of LIFE; in your presence there is FULLNESS of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Life doesn’t have to be a scary maze, it can be a maze full of beauty and great adventure with Jesus. At the end of the maze, we get to be in Heaven.
I was reading an article this morning called "Discerning the Will of God", and I came across this passage that I thought was very well said.
"God is not some cosmic kill-joy who delights in taking advantage of people who are foolish enough to submit their wills to His. The one who loved us enough to sacrifice His Son to save us when we were His enemies (Romans 5:8-10) is certainly worthy of our trust now that we are His children. "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32). We don't need to "surrender to God's will" as though we were resigning ourselves to a somber and joyless existence. Instead, we can say with David, "I delight to do Your will, O my God" (Psalm 40:8), knowing that He loves us enough to desire a destiny for us that is beyond our highest hopes."
The Offenders
I have heard and sang this line, "Scorned by the ones He came to save", so many times without, honestly, not even giving it much thought until the other night at church. It is such a powerful and true line. A couple weeks prior to that our pastor was talking about how crazy it is that we were the ones who offended Jesus, yet He still wanted and saved us. Jesus loved us so much and still does. No matter how much we mess up and no matter how far we run away, Jesus will always have His arms open and ready for you to come back to Him. Seriously, that's the true definition of "love".

Jonathan Helser
Dear Future Husband, I'm done. I'm done thinking about you and who you will be. I'm done wondering if you're one of my friends, or someone I have already met. I'm done answering my friends when they ask me what I want you to be like. I'm done with it all. I'm done wasting my time dreaming of you. I've spent a lot of my life dwelling on things to come. I've missed so many great moments because my mind was absent. You are future, but I am present. My life is present. And I've decided to let you show up in the present before I start thinking of you often. As someone very wise once put it, "do you think God is just going to let your future spouse walk by without tapping you on the shoulder?" I'm sure I won't miss you when you come so I'm going to stop staring at the door. I'm done assuming that I know what's best for me. I'm done sketching out your best qualities to match my own. I'm done stealing God's job. I'm done trying to be the architect for my own future. God is the professional, so I'm going to let Him take care of the details and give me a tour when He's ready. I trust that He is going to build something more beautiful than I would ever think to construct. I'm done setting unreasonable expectations for you. I'm done being the girl that puts you on a pedestal and believes that marriage will be easy if she just finds that perfect guy. I'm done mentally planning our TLC wedding and our "Pride and Prejudice" happy ending. I'm done measuring you up to movie characters and inspirational quotes on Pinterest. I want to be happy with you being you. The beautiful thing is that you're not fictional and you're not just the chorus to a love song. I want you to be authentic and genuine. I'm done expecting you to be anything else. I'm done assuming that sooner is better when it comes to knowing you. I'm done asking God to get on with it already. I'm done despising people who have found love already. I'm done wishing I were them. I'm thankful that I am me and that my story is unique. I'm done buying into the idea that being in love is the only way to live. I'm done assuming that you exist at all. This is not because I think I will never find love or because I don't trust God. In fact, it's because I trust God that I'm done expecting you. My life will be great no matter if you are real or not. I think single Christians tend to forget this. My Christian journey won't necessarily lead me down the aisle. That doesn't mean that God loves me any less. God has something great for me. It may or may not be a husband, but that's okay. If you are real, I want you to know that right now I am focusing on hiding my heart in Christ alone. I'm going to let Him take care of me. And honestly, even in the future, when and if I know you, I'm going to let Him take care of me then. You will never be my everything. I never want to be your everything, either. I think our best love will come through a mutual love for our Savior. Love without the cross really isn't love at all. Sit tight, future husband, if you're out there at all. Hide your heart in Jesus as well and wait until he taps you on the shoulder and says, "it's that one over there." I'll be thrilled when and if that moment comes, but I'm done waiting for love. I've already found it. And I pray that you have, too.

Are you struggling with your faith or doubting?
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King
More Than Conquerers
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?.....No, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERERS through Him (God) who loved us. For I am SURE that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers nor height or depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:35-39 Word. We are MORE THAN conquerers because we have the ultimate conquerer, Jesus Christ. http://youtu.be/2p8_4NbrcKA
If you can be great without prayer, your greatness will be your ruin.
Spurgeon
