With the help of grace, the habit of saying kind words is very quickly formed, and when once formed, it is not speedily lost. Sharpness, bitterness, sarcasm, acute observation, divination of motives, - all these things disappear when a man is earnestly conforming himself to the image of Christ Jesus. The very attempt to be like our dearest Lord is already a well-spring of sweetness within us, flowing with an easy grace over all who come within our reach.

Experiencing grief - for me- is like having my life splayed out in a million shattered pieces. Nothing is like it was. For a long while, I believed that any beauty in my fragmented life was impossible. I was wrong. With God, beauty comes from ashes. Yes, my life is a very different design of intricate, coloured pieces. Never could I have imagined how different the view of my life would be. But,  with God helping me, I choose not to let grief destroy my potential for beauty & purpose.

Rivers carry within them the potential power to reshape and mould the environment around them. Keep that in mind as you remember that Jesus said, "Out of you will flow rivers of living water.

C.S. Lewis

No amount of falls will really undo us if we keep picking ourselves up each time. We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children by the time we reach home. But the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, & the clean clothes are in the airing cupboard. The only fatal thing is to lose one’s temper and give it up. It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present in us; it is the very sign of His presence. C.S. Lewis Daily Christian Quote Website ---------

Tell me how it is that in this room there are three candles and but one light, and I will explain to you the mode of the divine existence.

Our world constantly preaches that you can do or be anything you want until it is offended at what you are doing or what you are. Then a switch flips, a mob forms, and the pitchforks are unleashed. Holiness is replaced by autonomy and justice by rage. In the midst of this environment, Scripture calls us to be people of the towel rather than people of the pitchfork. Jesus modeled this for us when he washed his disciples’ feet (John 13:1-17) without exception or expectation. This was not a simple object lesson but an example of perfect service that reflected Jesus’ humility when he came to earth (Philippians 2:1-11). Jesus then asked his disciples to imitate him in washing one another’s feet. People of the towel grasp that Jesus wants us to humbly and lovingly serve others in every human interaction.

Bethany Hicks

If you can fit all that God does in your box, then you don’t know Him that well. We must leave room for the wonder and mystery of God in how He chooses to speak to us.  

Reinhard Bonkke

The way to know that God exists is to trust Him. The way to know that electricity exists is not by theory but by using it. Simply begin believing God, act on it and doubts will disappear. Live as if there were a God and you will know there is. Faith in God is our own natural ability made operative by the Holy Spirit. To use faith is to be led by the Holy Spirit. God is not "my faith in God", but He comes to me when I am prepared to trust Him. Try today. It really works. God bless you.

Any one can sing in the sunshine. You and I should sing on when the sun has gone down, or when clouds pour out their rain, for Christ is with us.

The healed man is conscious and heart engaged. He is always in process of learning and growing. He strives for a heartfelt awareness. His sense of responsibility extends beyond himself and those around him. His choices are not just for himself but all mankind. He knows how to celebrate both men and women. He is respectful, honoring and gracious. He holds his brothers accountable. He makes amends for his own wrongdoings.⁠
