EXPECT SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

faith is putting all your eggs in god's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.
and, I might add, don't worry about his dropping them. faith is the force of a full life. I believe that the primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is a lack of faith.
as cited before, corrie ten boom says, 'faith is like a radar that sees through the fog the reality of things at a distance that a human eye cannot see.' faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.
so what is faith? your faith is what you believe, not what you know.' life without faith in something is too narrow a space in which to live. you'll feel cramped your whole life when you don't live by faith.

           when god is all you have,
              then he is all you need

you can find god! but there is a condition: seek him with all your heart. you will always get into trouble when you try to handle your life without god.

god, the ultimate warrior, lives in you. if you are a soldier for god, don't worry about public opinion. only be concerned about your commander's opinion. if you fear god, there is no need to fear anything else.

I believe we should follow mary lyon's advice: 'trust in god and do something.' satan doesn't care what we worship as long as we don't worship god. too many people ask god to guide them and then grab the steering wheel. your relationship with god will last if he is first in your life. often people want god's blessing, but they don't want him. 

 

your best friends are those who bring out the best in you

tell me who your best friend are, and I will tell you
who you are. if you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl,
but if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great
heights. a mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is
shown by the kind of friend he chooses. the simple but true fact
of life is that you become like those with whom you closely
associate--for the good and the bad. think about it;
almost all of our sorrows spring out of relationships
with the wrong people. instead listen to author E.k
Piper,
        
         keep out of the suction caused by
         those who drift backward.
                       

Fear wants you to run from something that isn't after you

The great evangelist billy sunday once said, 'Fear knocked at my door.
faith answered..... and there was no one there.'
now, that's the proper response to fear, Fears, like babies, grow large by
nursing them. Benjamin Disraeli offered, nothing in life is more remarkable than the
unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.'  We must act in
spite of fear.............. not because of it. If you are afraid to step up to the plate, you will
never hit a home run.
lucy Montgomery, English comedienne and writer said, 'it only seems as if you are doing something when you are worrying.' worry doesn't help tomorrow's troubles, but it does ruin today's happiness.    

The Most Powerful Energy

Prayer brings momentum. It lifts the heart above the challenges of life and gives it a view of god's resources of victory and hope. prayer provides power,poise,peace and purpose for a person's purpose, plans, and pursuits. The most powerful energy anyone can generate is prayer energy. corrie ten boom, a holocaust survivor said,|

The devil smiles when we make plans.He laughs when we get too busy.
But he trembles when we pray.

whatever is worth worrying about is certainly worth praying about . god is never more than a preyer away from you. when you feel swept off your feet, get back to you knees.   

Safety Last !

For many years, "safety first" has been the motto of the human race.....
but it has never been the motto of leaders . A leader must face danger.he
must take the risk and the blame and the brunt or the storm,' wrote
Herbert casson the famous Canadians author . if you want to be successful, you must either have a chance or take one. you can't get your head above water if you never stick your neck out.
A dream that does not include risk is not truly worthy of
being called a dream , lord Halifax said,

The man who leaves nothing to chance will do
Few things(badly), but he will do very few things.

If you never take risks, you"ll never accomplish great things.
everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.
