Ready?
wongdavidjacob:
What is this ready nonsense? God calls you when you’re ready, not ready, almost ready, not nearly ready. You just must be willing to trust and follow. No excuses, you’ll be fine.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

I: simple obedience is best
me: sounds pretty blind to me at this point
I: well, you know who he is, right?
me: he?
I: God?
me: ... I guess so...?
I: if I were to trust my good friend, is that blind?
Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.
1 Peter 2:18
Hard. But with a loud Amen, first and foremost to myself.
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Cleaning out old Notes on my iTouch...
…and discovering some gems.
1. ”What is your only comfort in life and in death? ‘That I, in body and soul, am not my own.’ “The base, the core, the stuff of Christianity is pursuing the One who pursued you and the One who loved you literally to death.”
Pastor Tim Nussbaumer, Point Community Church
2. I hate the devil, and the way he is killing some of you...
jspark3000:
That moment when someone tells you the obvious right thing to do, but you deny it like crazy and explain your case, and then they straight up call you out on pride, and you realize they’re right — and there’s no other option but to follow through.

Prayer and meditation
In abundance Let me honor You In suffering Let me give You praise
My life is so, so good right now. May my heart never grow dull in remembering God’s streams of goodness when He leads me through the desert. When I am to suffer, let my heart and lips bring forth joy and praise and thanksgiving.

But if the Son has set us free, then we must be...
No chain is strong enough No choice is wrong enough No mountain high enough that He can’t climb
No shadow dark enough No night is black enough No road is lost enough that He can’t find
No pain is deep enough, No heart could bleed enough Nothing but Jesus’ love can make a way

What Love Was
louieguan:
I do not think that you’re doing it wrong when your heart aches and pains for the people you think you care about. There is no magical trick, there is no five step plan. Love is as grueling of a task as it gets.

Waves, Night, The End
jspark3000:
I was walking along the beach tonight, wave after wave rushing at the side of my toes.
I saw a light at the end of the shore, a tiny dot, and I thought about the end. My life was halfway done.
I saw people swimming, clapping, dancing, kissing, fighting on the sand. I thought about taking a part in those lives, the swirling stories and journeys and conflict all colliding; I thought...

the Body doesn’t always reflect Jesus very much
it’s too comfortable, too happy
livin in its own bubble of Christianese and “Christian” culture
rather than gettin their hands dirty and havin their heart broken to love others the way Jesus does

The 7 Habits of Highly Competitive People
beikokutaichou:
“He is too competitive. Any time he loses he gets so angry.”
“Competitive” is an unfortunate example of a common word marred by common usage.
The dictionary.com definition that best pertains to competitive people is
“having a strong desire to compete or to succeed.”
This doesn’t say anything about getting angry when you lose. Getting angry when you lose is a completely...

"I've let myself go."
xtineliang:
Today was a very low self-esteem kind of day. The kind of day where I woke up and felt so ugly, it was just overwhelming, no matter what I wore or how I did my makeup, I just couldn’t shake this feeling. I was unhappy with myself.
In a morning spent of self-loathing, praying, fighting back tears, praying, and oh yes, working, God brought these two verses to mind.
Charm is...
these pilgrim days.
