Morsels of wisdom
“What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are.” C.S. Lewis
I find it fascinating when two people are witness to the same event and yet the one with a heart of hope can find even the tiniest fraction of good in the event whilst the cynic picks apart and rejects any hope whatsoever.
“A simple virtuous soul sees evil in nothing, for evil exists not in things but in corrupt hearts.” Saint Therese of Lisieux
“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.” G.K. Chesterton
“A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over… is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.” G.K. Chesterton
There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather…..Martin Luther
You won’t relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I’ll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
Lyrics by Misty Edwards, You Won’t Relent
“Ceasar tried to change men by changing institutions. Christ changed institutions by changing men.” Historian Will Durant
“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” Quote from C.K. Chesterton
What great insight in such a simple statement. I must confess I get weary in the swim but I take refuge in my Father’s strength.
Psalm 59:17 O my strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God
