Gripped in Jesus
We
are real people, who face real life issues that are not always easy. It
isn’t that we lack faith; rather, it is the length of the journey while
waiting expectantly for the response of heaven. This time of year can
make difficult things seem particularly heightened. Tender places in our
hearts seem even more tender. Every part of our lives, every difficult
place is an opportunity for triumph. In every situation, we are
attracted to God’s fullness… not fear, intimidation, negativity or
hopelessness. We are gripped by all that Jesus is for us.
- Jane Hansen Hoyt
Character matters.
Talent can take you to heights where only character can sustain you. - A. R. Bernard
Commitment II
To protect his/her thinking, heart and body is a commitment to make before marriage kind of commitment.
Commitment
In Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot states, "Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention?"
The Heart of Life
John Mayer
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
