this is first and foremost addressed to me who needs to hear it the most.
and then you guys – I pray that it will encourage and build someone up for life
–
don’t be afraid of the unknown
because your unknown is God’s known
there is no reason to fear
–
He who has already gone BEFORE you
has paved a perfect way
and He lives INSIDE of you
and will walk through it with you
–
there is nothing in life that is too big for God to handle.
He knows what is going to happen
and how it’s going to happen
and He’s not going to let you go through it alone.
–
He is with you now and He will be with you then.
He is forever faithful and He is forever with you
because
He doesn’t view you based on your performance
but based on the perfect, spotless, righteous blood of Christ.
–
get outside of yourself.
do you know that your body is not going to last?
I’m not saying go have some weird out-of-body experience
but I AM saying that life with God exists outside of physical circumstances.
your life, your joy, your attitude, your words
are defined by HIM
and not by some momentary affliction.
–
life isn’t all about you
it’s about Him.
a thought life that is saturated with self will lead to death
but when you learn to take every thought captive and direct it unto Jesus Christ
life comes.
–
perspective makes all the difference, friends.
do you go to Him when you’re scared?
do you go to Him when you’re bored?
do you go to Him when you don’t know what to say or do anymore?
–
the world passes on
but God is always there
–
to be more specific, EMT school will be over in 5 1/2 months
but God won’t be
–
the scary stuff only lasts for a little bit
but He lasts forever
–
just keep your eyes on Jesus
and invest in what cultivates a greater love for Him
–
Jesus would never allow His disciples to be in a panic.the one great crime on the part of a dicsiple, according to Jesus Christ, is worry.whenever we begin to calculate without God we commit sin.// chambers–and there in the deepening twilightI seemed to be clasping a Handand to feel a great love constraining mestronger than any command–then I knew, by the thrill of sweetness,’twas the hand of the Blessed ONewhich would tenderly guide and hold metill all the labour is done–so my thoughts are never more gloomymy faith no longer is dimbut my heart is strong and restfuland mine eyes are unto Him// holness [quoted in separation & service by hudson taylor]
