It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

Dear God, You have made me so much stronger than I could ever imagine being… But I know I am also very stubborn too… Please help me to step back from ME, so I can see YOU clearly and allow You to guide me… I hand it all back to You God… the good and the bad, the ugly and confusion too…

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge.”

There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve him, boldness to share him, and contentment in him.

…if God teaches us victory in Christ Jesus day by day, we live in the constant awareness of His greatness and His sufficiency. Hard lessons are often long-lasting lessons. Never forget that God is far more interested in our getting to know the Deliverer than simply being delivered.

Dear Lord, I love when You place me where I need to be and ever so gently You give me an Ah-Ha moment so that I know I am where I need to be. Thank You God for opening my eyes to Your amazing Grace and comforting me and letting me know it will be alright.
