“Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
our hearts desire is to glorify your name.”
“It is not reputation, fame, success or religiosity that glorifies God,
it’s slavery.”
~ indonesia123 ~

“Give me 100 preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God; such alone will shake the gates of hell.” ~ John Wesley ~

“Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.”
~ Andrew Murray ~

“God works powerfully, but for the most part gently and gradually.”
~ John Newton ~

“What are you really living for? It’s crucial to realize that you either glorify God, or you glorify something or someone else. You’re always making something look big. If you don’t glorify God when you’re involved in a conflict, you inevitably show that someone or something else rules your heart.” ~ Ken Sande ~

“God is not proud. He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to him.” ~ C. S. Lewis ~

“Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness, the nourishment of the mind with His truth, the purifying of the imagination of His beauty, the opening of the heart to His love, the surrender of the will to His purpose.”
~ William Temple ~

“An ineffable, holy God, who has the utmost abhorrence of sin, was never invented by any of Adam’s descendents.” ~ A. W. Pink ~

“When we live holy, we will glorify self
but when we glorify God, we will live holy.”
~ indonesia123 ~

“One of the joys of heaven…will be discovering the hidden ways that God in His sovereignty acted in our lives on earth to protect and guide us [that we might] bring glory to His name, in spite of our frailty.” ~ Billy Graham ~

“For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” 
is the One who has shone in our hearts to give 
the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
~ 2 Corinthians 4:6 ~ 

Please pray for ~ Jim ~ Miss Emma ~ Daniel and I as we begin moving animals from southwest VA to southside VA ~

    Rev. Graham's words are something I've thought about often–like that time we've fumed because of a traffic jam?

    But C. S. Lewis's words, as they always do, make me humble with thankfulness. Isn't that a glorious message? So far from what human nature would be like.
