Oh! man, learn to reject pride, seeing that thou hast no reason for it; whatever thou art, thou hast nothing to make thee proud. The more thou hast, the more thou art in debt to God; and thou shouldst not be proud of that which renders thee a debtor.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Cheerfulness is the support of our strength; in the joy of the Lord are we strong.
– Charles Spurgeon –
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do.

I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness and in the coming one give you a hallowed dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth consuming you with a passion…known to God as that saintly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude Cross–and Glory!

from Shadow of the Almighty
A prayerless man is proud and independent, and any church that neglects corporate prayer is sadly no better. Only God’s humble and needy children take the time to pray. Everyone else is just going through the motions and naively trusting in their own strength!
– David Smithers –
Forgiveness is the key which unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. The forgiveness of Jesus not only takes away our sins, it makes them as if they had never been.

I am just a broken woman who happened to say YES to being emptied, filled, and poured out.
– Heather Elyse –
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
– Jim Elliot –
God’s sacred intent for you and for me is nothing short of absolute abandonment to Jesus, entire separation from the pollution of the world, and ardent worship of our King with every breath we take.
