Quotable Quotes

(Invocation: May Your divine foresight, rather than my own crippled hindsight be what fuels my...everything, God.)

What follows are a few quotes that ring like a tuning fork held against my eardrum these days:
"Of all the things we do, we have more freedom with respect to what we think of, where we place our minds, than anything else." Dallas Willard

"When we have a spirit of thanksgiving, we can hold all things lightly." Richard Foster
"What we call the process, God calls the end." Oswald Chambers
"Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our minds." Oswald Chambers
"We are created to be connected with others-- it is part of our God image, for He is 3 intimately, utterly connected beings in one." Larry Crabb

Most significant quote in my face today: "Undress yourself morally before God of everything that might be a possession until you are a mere conscious human being, and then give that to God...Are you more devoted to your idea of what Jesus wants than to Himself?" Oswald Chambers.
