To "encourage" someone is not simply to say nice words, but to empart courage. I cannot think of a better to provide courage than by letting someone know you are there with them.
The depth of a heart is measured by the ability to carry both grief and joy simultaneously without letting go of one or the other.
Fulfillment is not found in the pursuit of more, but in letting go.
Those of impact are seldom those with the most advice, but those who listen most
Before there was "original sin" there was "original goodness." When God created, God declared all of it..and I mean all of it..."good." What is original is not sin but goodness. When God made you God said, "this is good."
"In the beginning God created..." - Gen 1:1 "In the beginning was the word..." - John 1:1 I find it is in the beginning of the day God's work & word becomes most evident. When I pray, & meditate on scriptures before anything else God remains before everything else.
Before the gospel speaks the gospel listens. The gospel listens to all our pain, brokenness, injustice, inequality, and loneliness in the world. Only then does the gospel respond. We too must remember that the power in sharing good news begins not by shouting but by listening.
The small things are not that small. If you get rich fast, you become poor faster. Save a little everyday and become rich, not just in money, but in thinking. Flashy spiritual events and quickly fade. Daily prayer, study, and humility fulfilled, create spiritual riches
If the poor, the immigrant, homeless, or minority threaten your kingdom, then it's time for a new kingdom. In God's Kingdom the lowly are not threats, they are blessings.
Sometimes we are called to speak and other times we are called to be silent. Wisdom is knowing the difference. The older I get the more often "silence" is the answer
Jesus entered the world first through a borrowed barn The Rule of Jesus was then announced on a borrowed donkey The Resurrection of Jesus happened in a borrowed grave The Kingdom of God comes not from the places of power, but from places of poverty
Jesus's resurrection was not a sign that everything was going to go back to normal, it was a sign that nothing would ever be the same again.
I need a gospel that touches both my heart and my hands. I need to be changed on the outside and inside. Any gospel too private to enact social change, or too public to fail to soften the heart, is a gospel too small.
You can bury love, you can bury hope, you can even bury God. But you better believe that they won't stay buried. Resurrection is coming!!!
Don't try to bring people to heaven, instead try bringing heaven to them
If you try to get "what's yours," you'll end up with less than what God has in store
You don't always have to understand someone to stand with them
