Forgiving Yourself

 

"There is no need to forgive someone you have never judged."  --James Cisneros

Focus

 ".....I focus on this one thing:  forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead."

Philippians 3:13b

Are You Ready?

"Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel."  Amos 4:12b

New vs. Renovated

 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

-John 3:3

God's Dwelling Place

"Do you not know that you are a temple of God and

 that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 

--1 Corinthians 3:16

The "Not I" Religion

 "But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves."  Romans 15:1

I've been rereading Hannah Whitall Smith this year.  She writes about the "I" religion that too many Christians subscribe to.  She writes, "Sooner or later the child of God who knows the embrace of the Father's love comes to the place of insight where thoughts of self vanish in the wondrous revelation of the heart of God." 

Character Counts

"A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."  

--Matthew 7:18
