A Grace Disguised
Belief in Gods sovereignty gives us the security of knowing God is incontrol, but it also assigns us the responsibility of using our freedom to make wise choices and to remain faithful to Him. It assures us that God is transcendent without canceling out the important role we play. God's sovereignty allows us to believe that He is bigger than our circumstances and will make our lives better through those circumstances.
- Gerald L. Sittsser

We ought not to pray supposing that if only we pray hard enough we shall get whatever we ask for. Most of the bitterness of unanswered prayer comes from the assumption that God will juggle His universe to give us what we plead for if we plead long enough. On the other hand, many things can happen, both within and outside of the individual, in response to prayer without any setting aside of God's orderly processes.

To be subjected to God's will is not only to give Him priority in our lives, it is but to give Him complete control.

Don't trust to hold God's hand; let Him hold yours. Let Him do the holding, and you the trusting.

The little troubles and worries of life may be as stumbling blocks in our way, or we may make them stepping stones to a nobler character and to Heaven. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

We have so much to be thankful for every day. God continually provides for all our needs. So let’s make Thanksgiving a year-long celebration.

If we would see ourselves as God sees us --- in all the perfections of the Beloved in Whom we have been engraced so fully and loved so deeply - we would reflect more of what we have been made to be "in Christ".

Time is too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love - time is eternity.

Since we are born spiritually dead, our greatest need is spiritual life. We received physical life and psychological life and a spirit which was dead to God by our human birth. This physical birth gave us temporary human life. Unfortunately, every human will die. To escape this living death condition, we must be born again into a spiritual life by a spiritual rebirth (John 3:3).
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in love with God.

Get off the Christmas merry-go-round and take the time to treasure what's important here, and what it means for you. God became a man; that we, who are the sons of men, might become the sons of God. Amazing! — Bob Gass
