Forget Your Perfect Offering

Forget your perfect offering.

That is how the light gets in.

confidently,
courageously,
enthusiastically,
expectantly …

When Obeying God Gets Hardest

“… if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves; and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.”

What are You Compromising to Get What You Want?

English Novelist Charles Dickens ( 1812 - 1870 )
