Intercession is LOVE

If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others.

~ Richard J. Foster

Private Victory

Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Success

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. ~  Winston Churchill

Difficult to Love...

If we find someone is difficult to love, we can invite the Holy Spirit to pour His love into our heart. When His Spirit fills our hearts, His Spirit becomes ours. Then we, too, are "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love" (Psalm 145:8) 

~ Aletha Hinthorne

Real Love...

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances. 

~ Marvin J. Ashton

Love...

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble,

Attempts what is above its strength…

It is therefore able to undertake all things, 

and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, 

where he who does not love would faint and lie down. 

~ Thomas a Kempis

A Choice...

Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice. ~ Stephen Covey

Make a Difference...

Let God’s love shine through you today in an authentic way. It’s not being cheesy, joking, or faking happiness. It’s being real. Looking at people, not through them. Showing that you care. ~ C. Hosher

Commitment...

Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on their world. ~ John C. Maxwell

Letting Go...

Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God. 

~ Andrew Murray

Give...

When you give to others, you are blessed in ways that are hard to describe.... If you have not yet experienced this, you are missing out on one of the greatest opportunities life has to offer. ~ Stan Toler

To Love...To Forgive...

To love means loving the unlovable.

To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.

Faith means believing the unbelievable

Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Holiness Is...

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.  ~ J.C. Ryle

Shine...

Let God’s love shine through you today in an authentic way. It’s not being cheesy, joking, or faking happiness. It’s being real. Looking at people, not through them. Showing that you care. —C. Hosher
