It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
~ A.W. Tozer
Reflect, Resonate, Reevaluate, Respond
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven’t yet come to the end of themselves. We’re still trying to give orders, and interfering with God’s work within us.
~ A. W. Tozer
To admit we are foolish, weak, and in need of repentance gives the vindictive and self-righteous camp plenty of ammunition to turn against us and to turn others against our leadership. But the alternatives to living in and living out truth are far worse: we either hide from truth or we choose to spin our sin and our story.
~ Dan B. Allender, from Leading with a Limp: Take Full Advantage of Your Most Powerful Weakness
Weariness is really about this core struggle to hope despite the circumstances and our limitations, and not so much about stress and being tired.
~ Dan B. Allender
Don’t waste your waiting. The time between where we are and the fulfillment of the promise is designed to transform us.
~ Crawford W. Loritts, Jr, pastor
So many of us have become discouraged because we are not in control and we are powerless to do anything about what we face. Because God doesn’t seem to be “showing up” when we think he should, we give up.
~ Crawford W. Loritts, Jr.
It’s not the gift (or the ‘golf’ club) but it’s whose hand it’s in. And that’s what God was telling Moses… Listen to me, the secret to your impact is not that heavy. The secret to your impact is your dependance on me. If you always know that you need me, you’re in a place of usefulness.
~ Crawford W. Loritts, Jr.
