I like this one from Francis Chan: “Jesus Christ did not die in order to follow us. He died and rose again so that we could forget everything else and follow Him to the cross . . . to true life.”
It reveals the source of our true life—found only in Jesus. And it points to the cross, where He took all my sin and suffered for me. At the cross I am both broken and blessed, humbled and healed.

“Grace can change an eternity”- David Jeremiah.
The thief saw it in a dying moment, and it changed his story.*It has changed lives!*

Yes, yemiks1. Praise God for His amazing grace: “Even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s jgrace that you have been saved!)” (Ephesians 2:5).

This book by R.T. Kendall ‘The Sensitivity of the Spirit’ reminds me of the consequences of grieving the Holy Spirit. It had impacted my life eversince.
One of the scriptures that the book quoted is Ephesians 4:30-5:7 which states the things that can grieve the Spirit. It helped me realise that the Holy is as sensitive as a turtledove. Whenever we do unrighteous thing, the Spirit can withdraw from us and we can still carry on with our lives and serving God. When we have sins in our lives, no matter how involved we are in God’s work, it will not receive His blessings. This verses remind me to be aware of my words, thoughts and actions so that i can continue to walk in His Spirit. Whenever i am in a negative mood and have blurted some unkind words or action, i immediately repent because i really do not want the Spirit to go away from me. So, In doing what pleases God, our lives can then be transformed and our work for God will bring glory and honour to Him. May we continue to work at it. Amen.

Thanks for sharing, GChoo. We so often fail to consider how our sinful actions truly offend God. I’ll definitely be thinking about your post!

I have two quotes taped to my computer front.
“It is not what we spend the greatest amount of time that molds us the most but whatever exerts the most power over us.”
And: “Stop giving people power over us only God should have.”
I don’t know who said these…it just struck the right note with me that I serve God, not man and God wants the best for me.
