“Lost time is never found again; and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.”
-Ben Franklin
“The measure of a man’s life is the well spending of it, and not the length.”
“The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately and forever.”
-A.W. Tozer in The Pursuit of God
Worldliness makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
-David Wells
“Failure in our faith is fatal. Faith is our spiritual shield protecting us from the darts of the devil. Lay this shield aside even for a moment, and disaster follows.”
“Assumptions are the termites of relationships.” -Henry Winkler
“You can’t change your past, but you can change your future.”
“Why do the righteous suffer?” someone asked C.S. Lewis. He replied: “They are the only ones that can handle it.”
We mutter and sputter,
We fume and we spurt;
We mumble and grumble,
Our feelings get hurt.
We can’t understand things;
Our vision grows dim;
When all that we need is
A moment with Him.
-unknown
“If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means they are being purified.”
-Oswald Chambers
“When I stand before God, I won’t be judged on how my wife submitted. I will be judged on how I loved my wife.”
-Gretchen’s dad
“The Lord will either calm your storm, or allow it to rage while he calms you.”
“Good books elevate our thinking– they expand our vocabulary and our ability to understand abstract concepts; they exercise our mind like a muscle. Good television attempts to do this, but rarely succeeds because it requires so little mental exertion.”
-Bethany Torode, in an article on Boundless.org
“When we deliberately choose to obey God, then He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist us with all His almighty power.”
-Oswald Chambers
A Prayer
I¹m willing to receive what You send
To lack what You withhold
To relinquish what You take
To suffer what you inflict
To do what You command
To be what You require.

“The best things cannot be hastened. Nor does God rush when He purposes to build something of lasting value.”
-Michael Phillips
As I journey through this vale of sorrow,
The way seems so strange and unknown;
Lord, I need a helping hand to borrow,
For I cannot find the way alone.
I have no other friend to guide me
And I am so weak and undone;
Walk a little closer, Lord, beside me,
For I cannot find the way alone.
When the raging storms of life confound me,
Dear Lord, wilt Thou keep me Thine own?
Let me feel Thy precious arms around me,
For I cannot find the way alone.
Chorus:
I cannot find the way without Thee,
Dear Lord, look down from Thy throne;
And make Thy light to shine about me,
For I cannot find the way alone.
-Albert E. Brumley
