"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act" Psalm 37:5
"God remembers our sins no more because they are of no use to him!" -Beth Moore
"Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." -Paul in 1 Corinthians 11
"For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another" Isaiah 48:11
"There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine they are guilty of themselves ... it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind." - C.S. Lewis
"Our theology has got to have a head on collision with our reality" –Beth Moore
"If we believed that our hold-up at the long red light was God's keeping us back from an accident about to happen, we would be patient and happy. If we believed that our broken leg was God's way of revealing early cancer in the x-ray so that we would survive, we would not murmur at the inconvenience. If we believed that the middle-of-the-night phone call was God's way of waking us to smell smoke in the basement, we would not grumble at the loss of sleep. The key to patience is faith in future grace of God's 'glorious might' to transform all our interruptions into rewards. In other words, the strenth of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something for us in all our delays and detours. This requires great faith in future grace, because the evidence is seldom evident."
– John Piper in Future Grace
