Words to Live By
Timeless Truth
The Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.” Genesis 17:1 NLT
Thoughtful Wisdom
“Thanks be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which Thou hast won for us, for all the pains and insults which Thou hast borne for us.
O most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother, may we know Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, and follow Thee more nearly, day by day.” – Richard of Chichester (1197-1253)
“Holy Spirit, think through me till your ideas are my ideas.” – Amy Carmichael (1868-1951)
“It would not be easy, even now, even for an unbeliever, to find a better translation of virtue from the abstract into the concrete than so to live that Christ would approve his life.” – John Stuart Mill
Treasured Gifts
Thank God for giving his dear Son to forgive you, breathing his guidelines for living into the hearts of human writers, and accompanying you every heartbeat by his Holy Spirit.
Praise God for his great expectations of you, grace to enable you to live on high moral ground above cultural corruption, and the inspiration of Jesus’ example.
Today’s Affirmation
Looking forward to a glorious destiny someday–new heaven, new earth, new me . . . I will make a conscious effort to live above reproach today.
