My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes – many times – my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens – and it happens every day in some measure – I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of Your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth. – John Piper –
” It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”
– Mother Teresa –

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness. – Barbara Johnson –
“Don’t allow foolish people to control you through their opinions. God’s opinion matters most.” – Robert Liardon-
Don’t be conceited: even postage stamps become useless when they get stuck on themselves. – Evan Esar-
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” – Jesus –
