I didn't earn any points with God by going overseas as a missionary! I didn't even want to go, but I thought the Lord wanted me to go, so I asked Him to make me willing, and He did. I REALLY ENJOYED living there!
Following are some of my favorite quotes:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says the Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil... you will call upon me and pray unto me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you,"
If YOU just pray this prayer, "Lord reveal Yourself to me", He will do it!
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life."
"God showed His love for us by this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." We come as we are and He does the cleansing! Christianity is God reaching down to man in love; religion is man reaching up with his tiny hands, trying to grab hold of God.
"Your sins have... hidden God's face from you so that He will not hear."
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord."
"By grace you are saved through faith which is a gift from God not of works lest any man should boast."
"The Spirit of God living in a person produces love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. There is no law against these!"
"You are clean through the WORD I have spoken to you", spoken long ago by Jesus to His Disciples. I am finding that it works for me today! Memorizing and thinking about verses from the Bible, keep wrong thoughts out of my mind.
Society seduces us with power, passion, and possessions, but only God offers lasting fulfillment.
You can experience the Abundant Life if you acknowledge that you are a sinner, and that Christ died to pay the penalty of your sins, and that He rose again and wants to live on the 'throne' of your life. You will then experience true peace and joy.
The lines above in quotes were taken from the King James translation of the Bible, but I paraphrased some words to bring the English up to date. Here is where to find them in the Bible: Jeremiah 29:11-14; I John 5:12, 13; Romans 5:8; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; Galatians 5:22, 23; John15:3.
You know that someone wrote these pages - just like you know that someone made this computer. And when you look in the mirror, you know that you were created by an intelligent Being. Give God a chance - look for Him - He will find you! But He is a Gentleman - He gave you a free will, and He will not force you but will patiently wait for you to make the first move.
