During this Easter weekend I wanted to share three posts from 2012, my first year of blogging:
"I am seeing more and more that we begin to learn what it is to walk by faith when we learn to spread out all that is against us -- all our physical weakness, loss of mental power, spiritual inability, all that is against us inwardly and outwardly -- as sails to the wind and expect them to be vehicles for the power of Christ to rest upon us. It is so simple and self-evident, but so long in the learning." Lilias Trotter, 22 August 1902
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
-Matthew 19:26
"But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." -Isaiah 64:8
"This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." --Psalm 118:24
"Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return." --Galatians 6:7
John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come....He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." --Luke 3:16
Emmet Fox writes concerning the relationship between God and man:
"One of the best known and most helpful [similes] is to think of man as a spark from a great fire, which is God. The spark is not the whole of the fire but it is part of it, and therefore of the same nature, and possesses, potentially, all the characteristics of the parent fire. It can ignite many things upon which is falls, thus producing another fire essentially of the same nature of the original fire."
