How Glorious The Splendor Of A Human

Lord, When I Feel That What I'm Doing Is Insignificant And Unimportant, Help Me To Remember That Everything I Do Is Significant And Important In Your Eyes, Because You Love Me And You Put Me Here, And No One Else Can Do What I Am Doing In Exactly The Way I Do It.

Jesus Comes Not For The Super-spiritual But For The Wobbly And The Weak-kneed Who Know They Don’t Have It All Together, And Who Are Not Too Proud To Accept The Handout Of Amazing Grace.

I've Decided That If I Had My Life To Live Over Again, I Would Not Only Climb More Mountains, Swim More Rivers, And Watch More Sunsets; I Wouldn't Only Jettison My Hot Water Bottle, Raincoat, Umbrella, Parachute, And Raft; I Would Not Only Go Barefoot Earlier In The Spring And Stay Out Later In The Fall; But I Would Devote Not One More Minute To Monitoring My Spiritual Growth. No, Not One.

The Litmus Test Of Our Love For God Is Our Love Of Neighbor.

For Those Who Feel Their Lives Are A Grave Disappointment To God, It Requires Enormous Trust And Reckless, Raging Confidence To Accept That The Love Of Jesus Christ Knows No Shadow Of Alteration Or Change. When Jesus Said, "come To Me, All You Who Labor And Are Heavy Burdened," He Assumed We Would Grow Weary, Discouraged, And Disheartened Along The Way. These Words Are A Touching Testimony To The Genuine Humanness Of Jesus. He Had No Romantic Notion Of The Cost Of Discipleship. He Knew That Following Him Was As Unsentimental As Duty, As Demanding As Love.
