Words of Wisdom
Dear Friends,
This morning I dipped into the archives to share some words of wisdom that blessed me. I hope that they are a blessing to you today!
1 John 4:10 (New International Version)
10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
I love my job--and one of the things I love most is meeting so many interesting people and hearing their stories.
Occasionally someone tosses out more words of wisdom in half an hour than their share and I am left trying hard to write fast.
Yesterday I met a man who touched me with his obvious love of God. You could tell he knew him well and walked closely with him.
He said:
God can use anyone--you don't have to be a genius to be used by God.
On stress:
In life you add and you delete. If you have a lawn mower that's not working, you get rid of it. Not people--you don't get rid of people--but there's answers for stress.
On finding God:
Once I heard the gospel--the good news that Jesus saves--no "buts" attached--I ran up to the front. I said to the preacher--shut up--don't say no more--you got me!
On tithing:
That's peanuts. I say to God--whatever you want--you got me.
On baptism:
Just get me there!
He said that we are like a hose and God's the source--we're hooked up to the source. That source is inexhaustible.
Prayer: Dear Lord, It's a foretaste of Heaven, meeting a new brother or sister in Christ and feeling an instant connection--a kindred spirit. Thank you and please bless him as he blessed me.

I remember when you and Frank met this man, because Frank came home and told me all about him too.
He's like an arrow, pointing to God and like a runner in a race.
Thank you for sharing these sold out words again.

I like your bookshelf.
:-)
The thing about writing about these moments is that you can enjoy them all over again.
