A Christian cannot be born.  No, the individual becomes a Christian. Kierkegaard (Provocations)

The spiritual man is able to look through things as God looks and think of them as God thinks.  He insists on seeing all things as God sees them even if it humbles him and exposes his ignorance to the point of real pain. A.W. Tozer (That Incredible Christian)

The truth is that there are no real accidents.  All that is experienced in this life has been planned.  God is in control. S.D. Wonenberg (Jesus Lives On In Acts of the Apostles)

Praise is rooted not in circumstances of the moment but in the nature and trustworthiness of God. Henry T. Blackaby and Richard Blackaby (Experiencing God Day By Day)

Father in Heaven!  Draw our hearts to you so that our longing may be where our treasure is supposed to be. Kierkegaard (Provocations)
