| 38365a7 | If prayer depends on how I pray, I'm sunk. But if the power of prayer depends on the One who hears the prayer, and if the One who hears the prayer is my Daddy, then I have hope. | Max Lucado | ||
| cbc0253 | Just as a happy child cannot mis-hug, the sincere heart cannot mis-pray. | Max Lucado | ||
| b8f3d31 | failures are not fatal. It's not that he loves what you did, but he loves who you are. You are his. The One who has the right to condemn you provided the way to acquit you. You make mistakes. God doesn't. And he made you. | Max Lucado | ||
| 5b78cbb | Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Phil. 4:6)." | Max Lucado | ||
| eaf255e | Repeat it to yourself over and over until it trumps the voices of fear and angst. "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in your, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over your with singing" (Zeph. 3:17 NIV)" | Max Lucado | ||
| bb8b936 | Because of Calvary, I'm free to choose. And so I choose. I choose love . . . No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. | Max Lucado | ||
| 39f8c73 | God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. | Max Lucado | ||
| af2372e | Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you" (1 Pet. 5:7). (The German word for worry means "to strangle." The Greek word means "to divide the mind." Both are accurate. Worry is a noose on the neck and a distraction of the mind, neither of which is befitting for joy.)" | Max Lucado | ||
| caf5a05 | Every quarter of a century an angel has touched one candle. Every prayer that was offered over the candle was answered. The Christmas Candle has become legendary. | christmas-candle | Max Lucado | |
| 3f59101 | Yet when God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. Imprisoned in flesh. Restricted by weary-prone muscles and eyelids. For more than three decades, his once limitless reach would be limited to the stretch of an arm, his speed checked to the pace of human feet. I wonder, was he ever tempted to regain his boundlessness? In the middle of a long trip, did he ever consider transporting himself to the next city? When t.. | jesus-christ | Max Lucado | |
| 35b19b8 | Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sarai gets pregnant. Just when the failure is too great for grace, David is pardoned. And just when the road is too dark for Mary and Mary, the angel glows and the Savior shows and the two women will never be the same. The lesson? Three words. Don't give up. | Max Lucado | ||
| 3c67264 | But God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test, and teach the future prime minister. We see a prison; God sees a kiln. We see famine; God sees the relocation of his chosen lineage. We call it Egypt; God calls it protective custody, where the sons of Jacob can escape barbaric Canaan and multiply abundantly in peace. We see Satan's tricks and ploys. God sees Satan tripped and foiled. | Max Lucado | ||
| 4970915 | 6Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. 7And God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. | Max Lucado | ||
| e4d064d | No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)." | Max Lucado | ||
| de824e6 | To be saved by grace is to be saved by him--not by an idea, doctrine, creed, or church membership, but by Jesus himself, who will sweep into heaven anyone who so much as gives him the nod. | Max Lucado | ||
| a8cfd2e | It is foolish to harbor a grudge" (Eccles. 7:9 TEV). An eye for an eye becomes a neck for a neck and a job for a job and a reputation for a reputation. When does it stop? It stops when one person imitates David's God-dominated mind." | Max Lucado | ||
| c9ae017 | Contrary to what we'd hope, good people aren't exempt from violence. Murderers don't give the godly a pass. Rapists don't vet victims according to spiritual resumes. The bloodthirsty and wicked don't skip over the heavenbound. We aren't insulated. But neither are we intimidated. Jesus has a word or two about this brutal world: "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul" (Matt. 10:28)." | Max Lucado | ||
| 8789577 | Do heroes know when they are heroic? Rarely. Are historic moments acknowledged when they happen? You know the answer to that one. (If not, a visit to the manger will remind you.) We seldom see history in the making, and we seldom recognize heroes. Which is just as well, for if we knew either, we might mess up both. But we'd do well to keep our eyes open. Tomorrow's Spurgeon might be mowing your lawn. And the hero who inspires him might be n.. | Max Lucado | ||
| 5c85603 | Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:5-10 NLT) | Max Lucado | ||
| ca0b92b | Christ-followers contract malaria, bury children, and battle addictions, and, as a result, face fears. It's not the absence of storms that sets us apart. It's whom we discover in the storm: an unstirred Christ. | Max Lucado | ||
| cf7280e | Each star, numbered. Each star, named! Like every grain of sand. Every hair on his head. Every trouble that filled his day. Created. Numbered. Known. | Max Lucado | ||
| 85e962f | Personally? I think there's more going on around us than we realize. I think God uses even the bad and ugly things in this world to lead us to a good place. | Max Lucado | ||
| ffec7e4 | God wants to be as close to us as a branch is to a vine. One is an extension of the other. It's impossible to tell where one starts and the other ends. The branch isn't connected only at the moment of bearing fruit. The gardener doesn't keep the branches in a box and then, on the day he wants grapes, glue them to the vine. No, the branch constantly draws nutrition from the vine. Separation means certain death. | Max Lucado | ||
| c622b4b | Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. ROMANS 12:2 NLT | Max Lucado | ||
| 25f60ba | This verse is a call, not to a feeling, but to a decision and a deeply rooted confidence that God exists, that he is in control, and that he is good. | Max Lucado | ||
| 65e94e3 | PRECIOUS AS IT IS TO PROCLAIM, "CHRIST DIED FOR THE WORLD," EVEN SWEETER IT IS TO WHISPER, "CHRIST DIED FOR ME." | Max Lucado | ||
| bfdc1ad | You don't have to live with a dehydrated heart. Receive Christ's work on the Cross, the energy of his Spirit, his lordship over your life, his unending, unfailing love. Drink deeply and often. And out of you will flow rivers of living water. from Come Thirsty | Max Lucado | ||
| 97356b7 | That's why the most stressed-out people are control freaks. They fail at the quest they most pursue. The more they try to control the world, the more they realize they cannot. Life becomes a cycle of anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure. We can't take control, because control is not ours to take. | Max Lucado | ||
| ad635fa | If you see your troubles as nothing more than isolated hassles and hurts, you'll grow bitter and angry. Yet if you see your troubles as tests used by God for his glory and your maturity, then even the smallest incidents take on significance. | Max Lucado | ||
| 2a82155 | Life is a gift, albeit unassembled. It comes in pieces, and sometimes it falls to pieces. | Max Lucado | ||
| d784b6f | Rather than ask God to change your circumstances, ask him to use your circumstances to change you. Life is a required course. Might as well do your best to pass it. | Max Lucado | ||
| a947300 | Money gone. Expectations dashed. Friends vanished. Who's left? God is. | Max Lucado | ||
| 566cf2b | It does little good to make the trip and miss the journey! | Max Lucado | ||
| 5becffb | A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks that he gets as much as he deserves."1 The grateful heart, on the other hand, sees each day as a gift." | Max Lucado | ||
| a5e4d72 | We rest in him, find our nourishment in him. His roof of grace protects us from storms of guilt. His walls of providence secure us from destructive winds. His fireplace warms us during the lonely winters of life. We linger in the abode of Christ and never leave. | Max Lucado | ||
| ae11808 | Gratitude gets us through the hard stuff...Gratitude always leaves us looking at God and away from dread. | Max Lucado | ||
| 681e160 | I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. --JOHN 14: 27 NLT | Max Lucado | ||
| 1814f4c | Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret-riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid-to-die to ready-to-fly. Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.1 | Max Lucado | ||
| d742cd1 | God is unchanging. The weather changes. Fashion changes. Even change changes. God has not changed and cannot and will not ever change. He is always the same--yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Heb. 6:17-18). | Max Lucado | ||
| 3b4d8e2 | Be anxious for nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Is this what he meant? Not exactly. He wrote the phrase in the present active tense, which implies an ongoing state. It's the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wanted to address. The Lucado Revised Translation reads, "Don't let anything in life leave you perpetually breathless and in angst." The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional." -- | Max Lucado | ||
| 23da9e6 | Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. | Max Lucado | ||
| 82bc093 | Gratitude is a mindful awareness of the benefits of life. It is the greatest of virtues. Studies have linked the emotion with a variety of positive effects. Grateful people tend to be more empathetic and forgiving of others. People who keep a gratitude journal are more likely to have a positive outlook on life. Grateful individuals demonstrate less envy, materialism, and self-centeredness. Gratitude improves self-esteem and enhances relatio.. | Max Lucado | ||
| 647766e | Dear Miz Fitz, My boyfriend is superhot so a lot of girls think up reasons to talk to him. It drives me... ...Out of my Mind Miz Fitz sez: Maybe he is too hot for you. Send me his photo, name, and phone number. I will check him out and get back to you. | Pete Hautman | ||
| 5d7b777 | Miz Fitz, If my boyfriend would just once say "I'm sorry, I was wrong," I think I would die and go to heaven. -Hellbound, a Lass Miz Fitz sez: You should wish for something realistic, like world peace." | Pete Hautman |
