Sayings of Samuel Godfrey George - January 2015

We may look for solutions to our problems and suffer needlessly. But if we wait on God, He will provide what He alone can give.

If we know the love of God it is our blessing to show it to those who do not know it.

There is nothing impossible for him or her who believes. So let's believe that we'll conquer our difficulties despite the hopelessness of our situations.

Let's decorate our minds with the love Jesus wanted us to show to one another.

Let God's grace not be a license to sin. Let it be a freedom to do what pleases God.

I will not abandon hope in God, for to hope in God is the surest thing in the world.

Don't forget to say thank you for every blessing that you know and for every one that you do not know. Great love is given to us sometimes without even our knowing it. Every moment of our life is a testament to a divine love.

The best miracles are the unexpected ones.

Only God makes the ordinary into the extraordinary. Only He can transmute the base creature into something glorious. And credit entirely belongs to Him.

If you need help, help someone. If you want God to help you, pray to God for someone else who needs help. To reap you must sow.

I believe that God is free to do whatever he wants. He always chooses to do good, because he is good. And though his good may not always seem good to us, it is in fact good. He can certainly do bad, and sometimes it does seem to us that God does bad things as well. Job admitted this: "Shall we accept good from God and not bad?" God can do bad but this is not what he ultimately does. God's love and God's goodness eventually overpower whatever we see as bad within him. Yes, God can be seen as hateful and destructive. But he eventually emerges as love. Because God is ultimately love, it is his love that will have the final say. God may seem bound by his promises. But this is what results from the irrevocable nature of his words. However this does not impair his free-will.

In a trouble-filled life Jesus is the person the afflicted one turns to every time. Jesus is everything to the person who has nothing else.

I must continue to do the work that God inspired in me. And I will do it as he inspires it. We may not differ in the crucial aspects of Christianity at least in my eyes. But where you see a difference that makes you separate yourself from me I see only diversity, a mark of the human race, which will continue to resist homogeneity. I maintain that differences should not drive us apart but bring us together. As far as I know I have said nothing that is against the spirit of Christ. Christ was never here to condemn the world but to save the world. And he saves the world by love and by accepting it just as it is. The people who were with him will not be suitable companions to most of us even today. Yet that is how Jesus lived and that is how the followers of Jesus should also live.

Now that I am Job I will have to hear out three or more friends.

To give the lie the appearance of truth, you must mix the lie with the truth.

The spokespersons of Satan believe that they speak the truth. They may even believe that they speak for God.

The purveyors of deception are themselves deceived. That's the salient point.

To care about something and to do nothing about it is not caring at all.

The man of God is supported by God through His people.

I do not work for humanity. I work for God. And as far as he takes me forward, I shall gladly go. What one sees now is only what one has been allowed to see.

Someone is praying for you even when you cannot pray. God himself is praying. And I will pray too.

"What am I doing with my life?", I have often wondered. Am I frittering my life away pursuing an imaginary goal set by an imaginary god? Or am I truly following the voice of the living God? I try to speak for God and about God as well as I know him. I want to be as honest as possible about my knowledge and experience of God, so that I am not unworthy of my calling. But do I really succeed? Is my message really heard? Is anyone really benefited and guided to God through my voice? That is a question that has not been answered yet at least clearly.

I study the Bible. I read Christian authors. I read experts on religion. I even read the atheists. I speak for God. I speak about my own experiences. I read the Bible on YouTube. I try to enthuse others about God. I do little else.

I fooled around a lot. I spent my time on worthless activities as well. I abused my speech, i.e. overspoke and misspoke. But after all the nonsense I went back to sense refreshed.

I wasted a lot of time on the pleasures of the world. At least this is what I thought sometimes. But at other times, I realized that I needed to waste time so that I could learn from it. There is much to learn from nonsense and idiocy. And after you spend time on the useless you can turn to the useful with great hunger.

My first obligation is to God. My only obligation is to God.

Let's not forget how great wonderful God's love is. Whatever we are going through today we have God's love with us.

Don't be in a hurry. Be willing to go at God's pace.

If you want to see Jesus Christ today, you will have to see him in the people in whom he lives.

We speak of light because we are filled with light. It is not the light of our own. It is the light of God who lives in us. So let us not be proud of our light, or expect commendation for it. Instead let us praise and thank God for filling our darkness with his light.

How can we learn to serve without expecting gratitude and thanks? This should be our most urgent question to God today.

Today and every day our attitude to others should be: what can we give to others without wanting to take anything from them?

We are all rebels. Let us not measure the extent of our rebellion. But let's remember this. We now belong to God despite our rebellious hearts. You and I belong to God.

It is best to be weak. When you are weak, then you are strong. The Lord works best in our weakness. Just say to yourself, "I belong to God no matter how I feel and regardless of what I think and do."

Keep trying as long as it takes. Be determined to get it out of you. See someone who is in touch with God. Above all set your mind on God and focus on him alone. There are demons in all of us. But let us choose to see the higher presence. Greater is he who is in us than the devil who is also with us.

We may not believe in the effectiveness of our prayers. But the name of Jesus Christ is enough as long as you trust in its power. Just trust. Be absolutely determined. You belong to Christ. Believe it. Say it a hundred times and even more.

Just say, "Deliver us from evil. Deliver me from evil." Pray for all your brothers and sisters caught in similar webs. Focus on God. Fix your eyes on him. And this is what he says to all of us, "Fear not, I am with you." He will neither leave you nor forsake you. He is right there beside you, near you and in you. Remember him and look to him.

I know. It seems unfair. And God seems distant and uninterested. If we didn't believe in God we would think that he is a terrible cheat and a liar. But we do believe in God and we accept his goodness and faithfulness by faith. So let's hang in there with a devil or many devils, as God wills. You take it easy. The battle belongs to the Lord and never to you, though it seems like it's all yours. Don't lose heart. Fix your eyes on God and just relax. Believe that you are well already. Just believe it and declare it, though it may feel like you're fooling yourself. Think about the good in your life. Celebrate the goodness of God that you have observed in this world. God's there for you. That's what I choose to believe. I'm praying.

You will have whatever God wants for you. Just say the greatest prayer everyday. "Thy will be done in my life."

Be strong in the Lord. Declare yourself to be strong and free. You are God's child. And you are blessed and you cannot be cursed. You belong to God alone, and no matter how you feel, know that God will never let you go. Speak to Him and seek His wisdom. Listen patiently till you hear His gentle voice within you.

When you are weak then you are strong. He is always with you no matter what you do. Sometimes when I struggle with myself I remember what Paul said, "Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be mastered by anything." I just say this to remind myself of what I could be, what I ought to be. But In Christ, we are already more than conquerors. Let us run this race to win.

Despite what the enemy tells we will believe in God. The enemy is persuasive and the evidence seems to confirm his harmful suggestions. But we will trust in the Lord, won't we?

Life seems like a never-ending struggle. Still God does show up every now and then, and infuse hope into what seemed like a hopeless situation. I know that. And I wish every child of God knows that.

We are well. Let's believe that and live accordingly.

But even Elijah knew fear. And Moses was not exempt from it. Fear may not be bad. Sometimes it leads us to seek God even more.

Pray for a heart that seeks God above all things. But distractions may also serve a purpose. The more we are distracted the more we are aware of what we need to follow. I think distractions are only distractions. The obsession will stand out against the distractions.

I like human approval as well. But the more we seek it, and the less we are satisfied by it, we will eventually turn away from it. Or at least we will not glamorize it any more.

If Satan is telling you anything, it is so because He sees you as someone who belongs to the other camp. If you belonged to his camp, He will not waste any time with you.

Remember the mystery about weakness. When we are weak, then we are strong. It is when we are weak that God works best.

Satan preys on our weakness, which is ignorance. Remember what God said. "My people are destroyed out of ignorance." We are ignorant of this: that we are weak, and this, far from being a barrier to God, is really the mindset in which He works best. We are sinful. But Jesus has washed away our sins. So let us not be obsessed with our sins, and worry about sinning. The process of sin is not halted in this life. And if we sin, we are directed to confess to God who will wash away our iniquity. So why should we worry about our place with God on account of sin? We are in His hands, and nothing, not even our weaknesses and sins, can pluck us away from them. Yet this is exactly where Satan attacks. He wants us to believe that we can ruin our relationship with God by our sinful acts, which are already atoned for.

If you are uncomfortable about Satan that is a good thing. The people who belong to Satan are those who are so comfortable with him that they do not even know that he exists.

You can't sell your soul to Satan now. It is not yours to sell anymore. When you accepted Christ He became the owner of your soul. Only He can sell it or give it away. And He will do neither.

Weeping may endure for a night. And the night may seem endless. But remember this, and look forward to this, REJOICING COMES IN THE MORNING.

How supremely confident we ought to be be in what God is doing in us, when we are actually afraid of what might happen to us.

And let the laughter continue. For He who makes you a conqueror never ceases to do so.

Satan is most persuasive many times. But there comes a time when one must look beyond and see through his lies. And then one will see God who till then appeared unlikely to be the truth.

Yet our fears hold us back. We must abandon our fears altogether if we are to be with God.

I will surrender all to Him. That is the key to being relieved. As long as I hold on to my baggage, I will never feel relieved.

I surrender all = I abandon all

We surrender only when all other hope fails.

Someone asked me what's in a name. Quite a lot I think. Remember Jacob who became Israel.

We all doubt. And we all learn to reject our doubts. That is the way of faith.

Jesus wants you to stop doubting. Just as he said to Thomas. You are hurting yourself more by your doubts. And that's what He really cares about. May God ease your soul, and let it enter into His rest. Just determine to believe that He is good and faithful, no matter how it looks.

God is great. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. We ARE free despite how we feel.

Rest in His faithfulness. Submit everything and everyone to God.

Yes. But this is a long battle. It will take some time, but we're getting there.

We're all selfish. But with Christ, our selfishness will be slowly stripped away. But this is a process. And we must learn to live with our imperfections for now.

If only we would be at peace with our weakness! This is the one thing that nails us to the cross.

Remember that it is when you are weak you are strong. If you desire strength, that is fine. But now, cling to your weakness. That may well be the road to your strength.

Know your weakness. But don't despise yourself. Because God sees you as His workmanship. Love what you are going to be when God is done with you.

Love God and do whatever you want, said Saint Augustine. When you love God you will only do what He wants. You can't love Him and cheat. You can't love Him and be selfish. Just pray that God fills you with love, the love for God and godliness. Meanwhile don't be so hard on your human nature. For it will surely pass.

Yes, it is scary. Our boat will surely be rocked. But who is in our boat apart from us? Let us remember Him.

If Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith and everything else about us, then we should just trust and walk on.

We have nothing to lose, when we are with God.

You will not be destroyed. Just cling to God and declare that you belong to God. Say that you have been freed by Christ and are certainly free. Believe and then speak. Don't be afraid. Be clear about this. You belong to God.

God is real. His love for you is real. That Christ died for you is real. That the Holy Spirit is with you is real. Hold on to that. By faith.

I don't know whether God speaks audibly to his people. But we are required to believe by faith. If faith is required, then God will by and large avoid anything that overrides the need for faith.

The only voice you need to hear is that of God. And he has already spoken loud and clear. In the Bible.

You should value your life. It belongs to God. But you must rest now. Rest in the knowledge that no matter what, nothing shall separate you from the love of God, which is in Jesus. Say this to yourself: "NOTHING shall separate me from God's love, neither angels nor demons will be able to separate me from God's love." Stand up in faith. And God will be faithful.

No demon can pluck you out of God's hand. We all fall and we all make a fool of ourselves. But that's all right. For God knows how hard it is. And he will forgive and restore. Think about the goodness of God and not about the badness of the devil.

Don't give up. God is good despite our worst doubts.

Now let's hope for the best. We all need help. None of us have made it.

We cannot give up, though it seems impossible that any good will come out of this. We must persist in faith, for there is no other alternative.

We have the mind of Christ, whether we experience it or not. And we have everything that is required to live the godly life. To be sane is to know that God is good even when He appears to be anything but good.

Remember, the last thing we need to do as Christians is to worry. When we submit a problem to God, we should learn to take our eyes away from it to Him, who is able to do whatever we ask of Him.

Love God more than you love anyone else. And you'll be well.

To have faith is to believe no matter how hopeless it looks.

We are in a great battle right now. But let's not lose sight of this. The battle belongs to the Lord. We should only stand and watch our deliverance. Will we stand? Let's pray for strength and determination.

We all have a major distraction in our lives. If we could only make God our only attraction these distractions will fall into place. Keep fighting. Ask God for an undivided heart. Take control of your mind and think about something else. Love someone. Help someone. Rejoice in what you can still do. Don't focus on what you can't do.

Don't worry. We're all in God's hands. And He won't drop us. No one can pluck us out of His hands.

I am strong. I am rich. I am dead to sin. I am a conqueror. I am the righteousness of God. No matter what we feel like, all these are true of every one in Christ Jesus.

Don't try so hard. You're more than a conqueror in Christ. What you need to triumph over you have already triumphed over in Christ. All that you need to do is to discover it gradually.

My righteousness does not come from my acts. My righteousness comes from Jesus Christ who gave it to me in exchange for my sins.

This is what we should remember today and every day. It's not by might, nor by power but by His Spirit that we go on.

The greatest challenge in faith is to believe in the goodness and faithfulness of God when he appears to be anything but good and faithful. The greatest challenge is to be still, and to be hopeful, when nothing seems to happen and everything seems to deteriorate.

A prayer is the most beautiful offering we can give to God. Yet sometimes we can do even more.

A prayer of David is still the need of the hour. May God give us a clean heart and a steadfast spirit today.

Be untiring in your appreciation of others. For that's exactly how you would expect them to be with you.

The one who wants to share cannot be shy. Share everything, give away everything. Withhold nothing that can help anyone.

We are all little yet God values us greatly. Let us also respect and like one another despite our faults and shortcomings. Let us learn to look at others as God looks at them. This is how we discover the image of God in us.

The Lord is my Shepherd. I WILL NOT be in want. This is not merely a declaration of faith. I believe it has already happened, though I am still very much in need. For this is the way of God's people. They live by faith. They look at the unseen in great hope without being defeated by the hopelessness of what is seen.

If I am acceptable to God, I'm also acceptable to the world. If God made me this way and if He loves me, then the world can also love me. I will believe in what God has made me to be. I will not be ashamed of who I am.

I want my blessing. I want my place with God. I will wrestle with him and I will prevail.

You cannot merit grace. You can only receive it. And you can receive it only if you are unintentionally hopeless.

When I consider the problems of others my own problems seem little in comparison.

God is our father. We are his children. So he will not abandon us.

It is better to believe that God is on our side, that he will not forsake us, that he will supply all our needs eventually, that we will always have enough of his grace to draw from in every dire situation. This is what I choose to believe today even as I am staring at a very bleak scene all around me.

We don't worship an inept God who does not know how to keep us. We are safe in his hands. And though we may wander a fair distance we are never really out of his grip. No one can pluck us out of his hands. If we believe this we can rest.

There's nothing to fear. That there's something to fear is the great deception. You won't get lost. God redeems your life from destruction and leads you in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. You can't get lost. God's name is at stake. And he won't let it be tarnished.

The situation seems impossible. Hope seems hopeless. But God is with you. And He is faithful.

Everything is a miracle. Every breath is a miracle. This day is a miracle. And if we are here tomorrow, tomorrow is a miracle as well.

When a miracle happens acknowledge it.

Rush not my son. Be content to walk at God's pace.

There is nothing wrong with love even if it is in a guise that you hate.

If religious bigots deal in hatred and exclusion let Jesus followers deal in love and inclusion. Let them dare to love even hateful bigots and overcome evil with good.

If religion is bad, it also necessitates the good. The bad creates the desire for the good. Just as darkness makes the light desirable religious prejudice and hatred make acceptance and love worth pursuing.

Religion is not so bad. I knew that there was someone called God only from religion. Religion is a starting point. Sadly some people just stay there.

What is an unbearable temptation will turn into a bearable temptation if you delay falling into it.

Focusing on God in this fallen world is hard work. But in the end it is well worth the strife.

No matter how great your trouble is don't fail to worship your God today.

Our convictions are at best suspect and at worst preposterous.

Don't fall so easily into what tempts you. Know the difference between what thrills temporarily and what pleases lastingly. Knowing this will take a little time, but acting on what you know and avoiding the temporary thrill may take a much longer time. Yet you must strive.

To be saved people should believe in Jesus Christ and what God did through Him. People are required to participate in their salvation, and even work it out with fear and trembling. It is not something that comes to all human beings automatically. Our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus, when we apply it on us, and participate in His sufferings. They are not washed away by merely looking at His suffering as a spectator.

Shine as much light as you can till you can. This is how our little lights together can dispel the great darkness.

We cannot love everyone and everything. We are just not equipped for that. Let us then love those whom we can love and appreciate what we can appreciate, and let us do this well.

God has given each of us something to be very thankful for, and let us not lose any opportunity to thank Him for it.

To connect with people you have to appreciate them.

Don't give up on yourself. God has not given up on you.

I'll not forget the benefits I received from God. This day and every day I will remember His many kindnesses to me.

This life that I live for God and the work that I do for Him cannot happen without God's gracious help. Apart from God I can do nothing. This realization is clearer today than it ever was. I need God's help and plenty of it. May God send it now any way He chooses. I'm waiting in hope. May we who hope in the Lord not be put to shame.

Lord, teach me how to respond to beauty. Teach me how to respond to anything. I need to learn from scratch.

O Lord, you keep my smile going.

I need only one recognition. That is God's recognition. Every other recognition is ultimately useless.

Speak the message of love as many times as you can, till it is heard, or till your last breath.

The love of God endures all forms of human coldness. Let us aspire to love like God, without expectation and without letting our love be defined by human response.

When someone curses you don't curse back. Remain silent and forgiving. Bless that person. Ask God to reveal his great love and mercy to that person. And may he or she be transformed by that love. Every time someone curses us we have the great opportunity to bless. And when we bless the one who cursed us we render impotent the evil effects of the person's curse. For we overcome evil not with evil but with good.

Those who curse are the weakest ones in the world. They deserve our pity, even our blessing.

God is with us always. We may not always be aware of His presence. But His voice is heard at the right time. Sometimes when I'm about to do or say something rash, a voice speaks quickly, "Wait, don't do that!" That is God. At other times the voice is not so clear, yet I hear it, even when I do wrong. Sometimes God is quiet even as I do something wrong. And later I hear God but not in condemnation. He speaks compassionately and helps me amend my wrongs.

When we have so much wrong with us, it is not right for us to point out someone's wrongs and condemn the person for those wrongs.

We may not recognize a blessing when we see it. But we should know that God is with us always and that he desires to bless us.

Why Should We Trust In God?

Recently I asked a question. Why should we trust in God when it appears that sometimes in life God is not with us? There are people in the world who have suffered great tragedies even while believing in God. There are people who waited for miracles and never experienced them. There are people whose entire lives have been destroyed even after they trusted in God. How could these things happen? It seems that God has abandoned some of his people. It appears that God is not always answering prayers. It appears that God is not always helping his people. So I asked this question. Why should we trust in God? Is it necessary? Is it important? Can we not live without God? Do we really need God when he appears so erratic?

And this is the answer that I received from my mother. She said, "No matter what happens let's trust in God." Whatever happens in life let's trust in God. Let's not worry about those moments when God appears insensitive. Let's not think of those times when God appears absent. Let's just trust him. Let's keep on trusting him.

There are times in my life when God has come to my rescue. And there are other times when God appeared absent. But I'm still going on. I'm still here. I'm still holding a camera. I'm still speaking despite the difficulties, despite the wreck that my life appears to be. Despite the troubling, dismal outlook I'm still here, still doing the work of God. And for once, it appears that I'm being heard.

It does appear at times that God is not interested. It does appear at times that God is absent. It does appear at times that God is even an enemy. But we are told that God is our friend. Saint Peter said, "Cast all your cares on God for he cares for you." Saint Paul said, "And my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory." Let us be reassured today. No matter how difficult life is, let us trust in God, for there is simply no one else whom we can trust. God alone can be trusted. King David said, "Some trust in chariots, others in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." Shall we learn to trust God like King David today? Shall we declare our faith along with him?

- Samuel Godfrey George

Is Man's Weakness God's Fault?

Man suffers a great deal with guilt. Why does he feel this guilt? What is the source of this guilt? Who inspired this guilt? Isn't it God? Isn't it God who inspired this guilt in Man? God's rules are so antithetical to Man's essential nature. Man is essentially a rebel. Man is born in rebellion against God. And all his life Man finds it difficult to live according to the rules of God. And his suffering comes from guilt. Human suffering is born of guilt, the terrible guilt that issues from not living according to God's rules. So, isn't God really the cause of Man's sufferings? If God is indeed responsible for human suffering, then Man is not responsible. If God is responsible for Man's fallenness, then Man is not responsible. Man can be exonerated. Man is free from blame. Man should not be blamed for the way he conducts himself. Is this a justifiable position? It does seem that God did not create Man perfectly. It does seem that God came up with rules that are contrary to Man's nature. All this seems wrong. It seems like God made a big mistake. But did God make a mistake? Is Man really not to blame?

Man is the creation of God. God is the Creator. The Bible admits that. Man is also a flawed creation. The Bible acknowledges that. There is a flaw in human nature. It is said that Man was made in the image of God.  But if one were to consider a human being, one may not find much of God in that person. Sometimes one may not see anything of God in a certain human. Still it is said that Man was made in the image of God. Then why does Man have a problem with being like God? Shouldn't it be effortless for Man to be like God? Yet Man finds it difficult to be like God. Though Man was made in the image of God, he has forsaken that image. He has forsaken and forgotten that image. When God created Man he looked very different from the way he looks today. How we human beings look today is very different from how we used to look before we fell. And we fell.

Man fell from a certain lofty place. When God created Man, Man existed at a certain level. And Man fell from that level. Man disobeyed God. Man did not just disobey God, he also wanted to make his own rules. Above all he wanted to be like God. That was the temptation at Eden. The temptation was not to eat a certain fruit. The temptation was to be like God. That is what led Man to his fall. Man forgot his place. He forgot the fact that he was a creation and wanted to be like the Creator. Is Man not responsible for his fall?  Can Man say, "Look, I have been created imperfectly. That's why I fell. The person who programmed me did not do a good job. That's why there was an error."  I don't think he can.

God gave Man the entire world, in fact the entire Garden of Eden. Man was free to eat from any tree in the garden except one. God forbade Man to eat from a certain tree. Man was given the freedom to do anything he wanted except to eat from that tree. But it was the fruit of that tree that Man desired to eat above everything else. He chose to disobey God. He chose to give up all his privileges for tasting the fruit of that tree. He ate that fruit believing that it would make him like God. This was a conscious decision that Man made. So Man then could not say that it was not possible for him to say no to the temptation. The truth is that he could have said no, but he actually said yes. And that has remained the way of all flesh. Even now humans do what God told them not to do. Even now human beings say yes when they ought to say no.

Is God responsible for Man's fall? Or is Man responsible for his own fall? The Bible clearly presents Man as guilty. It presents Man as responsible for his fallenness. Man was given a certain privilege. He was given the freedom to choose. And he chose what God forbade. And that is what all human beings continue to do. We humans often choose evil. It is not that we are powerless to choose good. It is that we prefer evil to good on many occasions. We choose evil because we prefer evil. Evil appeals to us more than good does. The Bible clearly states that Man is guilty. And I believe that Man is guilty because Man has the power to say no to evil, and yet he says yes. He chooses to do evil. Every time Man does evil, he chooses to do it. And it is he who is responsible for his action.

God did not create Man to behave like a robot. He did not want humans to obey his rules without understanding and acceptance. He wanted us to understand and accept his goodness. This is the power that he gave Man -- the power to judge and to know. All human beings have been given that power. Adam had that power. But he preferred to do what was evil. And that tendency has stayed with all of us, his children. When Adam, our father, chose to do evil, he knew it was evil. He knew it was not what God wanted him to do. And yet he did it. He did it knowingly. So he was responsible for his actions. He could not say, "I was too weak. God made me so weak that I could not resist the temptation." That was not the way it was. He could have chosen not to eat the fruit that was forbidden. But he chose to eat. Even today we, his children, could chose not to do many of the lamentable things that we actually do. Yet we do them anyway. We do them knowing well that we should have acted differently. As long as we know that, we are responsible for our actions. So we are responsible for the way we are. We suffer because of the mistakes that we knowingly make, not because of how God created us to be. Therefore it is not God who is culpable, we are.


Samuel Godfrey George

Sayings Of Samuel Godfrey George - December 2014

I have cast my cares on God. And I expect Him to do something for me today. I expect a miracle. May God grant all His children His saving miracles.

Love the absolute mess that you are, and you are on your way to loving others and God.

You don't overcome sin by hating it. You overcome sin by loving God. He has already done the overcoming for you.

To be humble does not mean to have a low opinion of yourself. To be humble is to know your need of God, without whom you can do nothing.

Never be ashamed of what you have. Be proud of what you have. Because what you have was given to you by God. And what he has given must be displayed with joy.

I expect a miracle today. May I know it when I see it. And may I receive it with gratitude.

To serve like Jesus is to serve even without appreciation and gratitude from those whom we serve.

God is not common sense. God is beyond any of our senses. He is certainly not common.

None of us deserve God. So let us not try to deserve him. He loves us not because of what we are, but because of what he is.

All beauty is essentially pure and our handling of it should therefore be pure. Yet many times we cannot see beauty the way it really is, and we approach it with our own corrupt intentions.

A difficulty that fundamentally weakens me is what propels me to God on a daily basis.

Don't be afraid when you face troubles. You have a God who cares about you. He cared enough for you to send you his son Jesus, so that the Son may reveal how much the Father cares.

Exercise peace. Exercise forgiveness. You'll exercise love and love is Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas.

Today I gave though it hurt. And I am glad.

Everyone need a little appreciation and a pat on the back. If we would give them these, there would be a considerable improvement in our interpersonal relationships.

Sometimes you'll have to love someone from a distance. Even that is a great blessing.

This is all that I need to say to you who are suffering silently today. God never fails those who trust in him. It may be hard to believe, but it is true. This is the only truth that matters.

If you want a hug give one.

Christmas is unlikely to be the exact birthday of Jesus Christ. But it should not be a trivial or an unspiritual acknowledgement of Jesus the Saviour of the world.

More than any other good thing that can be consumed during Christmas I will consume the Lord Jesus Christ as he commanded me to do.

It is not knowing their story that makes you love others. It is knowing your story.

Let's not use our energy to find fault with one another today. Let's appreciate the good, even the little good that we see in others. And let's appreciate all that God has done for us.

Let's go to God today and be sheltered by his love. Let's not choose to walk alone today. It's not possible to go far without God.

To be like God you must be prepared to wait.

With God we can turn grief into beauty.

We can all meet in a calm place with a smile.

Sometimes a miracle is to keep going on when nothing seems to work in our favour.

How does one rejoice in trouble? Not by smiling and laughing, but by knowing that there is a God who delivers his children from all troubles and thanking him for doing that.

A foul temper gets foul results.

Whatever anybody does you do what is right and good. Be good, be nice even when people fail to be good and nice to you.

The saddest thing we can do today is not to trust in God.

I may not be a light in every way, but as long as I am still able to touch even a single person out there I am fine, and what I am doing is fine.

Don't desire human appreciation. It is ultimately worthless.

Sometimes all you need to do is to whisper your love.

Say nothing when you are angry. Let a few days pass before you say anything.

To accept the truth about oneself is most difficult. To admit it is even more difficult.

We may not know even the good that we have done.

Even if God has chosen a petty little hut for me, I will be happy with it, for God is wise and he knows what is best for me.

Not tied to anyone means not tied to anyone's expectations. There is freedom in that.

I was born alone. I was raised alone. Even with others I was alone. Now as I stand among a noisy crowd I am still alone. Many times I was troubled by my loneliness. But today I stand in a crowd utterly alone, and this enables me to walk straight to the one who alone can give me comfort. To him I will go today alone.

When nothing happens be still and know that you are in the hands of God.

I have asked and I have received. God is true.

The topics that I'd rather not discuss are the topics that I should discuss.

Is Jesus the only way to God? No human verdict can decide this. But Jesus has this to say about himself, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Questions such as, "Did Jesus really say this? Could he have meant this statement to be taken literally? Could the way be something broader than mere faith in Jesus?" are in the realm of speculation, and reveal the human need to embrace more than Jesus, and even something else than Jesus.

Praying to God and receiving answers from him do not always happen according to our expectations. Sometimes God delays his answers and at other times God does something else. But we must trust in God and his good intentions toward us. We must believe that he wants the best for us and will do only what is good for us.

If you have Jesus you don't need anything else.

O God, you will not fail me. I may fail you. But you will not fail me.

I'm not in the convincing business. I'm in the sharing business.

There is no way I can dilute the truth that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. This is my faith, and it is most specific.

Giving is loving. Give today and love someone.

Say this today. "It may not look like God is going to bless me. But I believe that God is going to bless me."

In your distress try to ease another person's distress.

Look always at Christ. Look away from every other thing.

Let us not look down on the Pharisee and the hypocrite. We may be worse than these. Let all judgement be reserved for God.

As difficult and unpredictable as life is, let us not say anything without the will to keep our word. When we raise hopes in others, it is ultimately sad when those hopes are not realized. As children of God, we should try not to do it.

Let's look beyond the flawed exteriors into the beautiful minds of those around us. And let's celebrate them.

Wait. And you'll get the work done.

Once a man threatened to kill me. I forgave him and accepted him as a friend. I cared for him and helped him. Now he cares about me and does whatever he can for me. He cares about me and my family in our time of need. God inspired me to forgive him. Now God is showing his great love through this man.

Just say, "Thank you Lord", no matter what the circumstances.

This is a work of love that Jesus Christ is doing in me. I am grateful to be a voice for God, and I want to speak for Him always. God alone can make this possible. May God give strength and send help.

People come and people go, but God is with me forever.

It is we who let our hearts be troubled. Let us decide firmly today that no matter what comes against us, we will not be troubled. For we trust in God and in Jesus, whom he sent to save us.

The delay and the rejection are acts of love.

Life is beautiful. Life is horrible. May the beautiful overpower the horrible.

Accept the rejection.

Today if you see a brother in need do not turn away from him.

Happiness is a choice. It arises from gratitude. Today if we have grateful hearts let's choose to be happy regardless of the situation we find ourselves in. We may be in trouble. We may be in debt. We may even be grieving. But we have a God who loves us just the way we are. And he has died for us to keep us with him forever. This is the most compelling reason for joy.

People search for Jesus Christ without even knowing it.

The hunger for love is the hunger for Christ.

We need to love one another and help each other grow into responsible, caring citizens. We show our love for God, our maker, by loving and caring for one another. If we fail to do this we fail to honour God because we refuse to live in obedience to his will.

O God, when I ask you to supply my needs I also know that it is you who have supplied all my needs until now. I know that you already know my needs before I address them to you. Yet this will not stop me from speaking about my needs. And it will not stop me for giving thanks for all that I have received. Yesterday you saved me by a gift that I didn't even expect. It was enough to meet a certain need in my life. But there are more needs and at least one emergency that I must face. Please continue to supply my needs and help me overcome my present problems. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer.

A Christian may not have an enemy as vicious as another Christian.

What determines a child of God is not what church he attends, or what denomination he belongs to or what doctrine he holds fast to. What actually determines a child of God is what love he has for an utterly unlovable neighbour.

How do I love God you ask. God is invisible and you cannot love an invisible God without being able to love his visible creations. You should love human beings first. You were commanded by God to love your fellow beings as you love yourself. Jesus further commanded you to love others as he loved you. It is not easy to love others, for very little is lovable about them. There is much to despise, hate and reject. But you must love others just as God loved you who are not lovable at all. None of us deserves God's love, yet he loves us. He loved us so much that he died for us. We were all sinners destined for hell, but God still loved us enough to take our punishment and give us a way out of eternal doom. Yes we must love like God for we are made in his image. And if he is love, we too are love. At least that is what we must be.

If only we would seek God rather than his blessings, those blessings will probably reach us faster.

When I feel I'm spent, God infuses a new energy in me, and gives me a new reason to work.

To love like Jesus is the scariest kind of love. Not many will like to try it.

Embrace everyone in Christ. Embrace particularly the one you would shun.

Don't forget to thank God for the little thing today. For some little things may be big things in disguise.

If God has given you something, then go ahead and share it with the world.

If God has done something for you, then go ahead and tell it to the world.

If you want to love people you should be ready to accept whatever they give you in return.

Let parents tell their children about Jesus and why Christmas cannot be celebrated without knowing who Jesus is and why his birthday is important.

Some say that Christmas is a time to love. I say that every day is a time to love, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Sayings Of Samuel Godfrey George - July 2014

For what I am able to do today, thank you God.

I have reached that place where I am alone and without help. Many are my difficulties. And I don't know where to begin. But I must speak to you my Lord. I must ask you again to help me. I must speak simply and trust simply like a child. Help me do that today. Let me seek your face alone and trust in you alone. You alone can help me.

Seven years I have worked with you and for you. I have spoken for you. I dedicated my life and my voice to you. But now for a brief while I remain interrupted and silent. Even now I try to reach out with love to those who may need to hear me. But it is becoming increasingly difficult my Lord. Will you bring joy into my life? Will you answer my prayer? Will you relieve my difficulty? Will you notice me now? Please do.

I'm tired and I've waited long. But you have not shown up the way I wanted you to. But I realize that I still have quite a lot to be thankful for. Even today I felt your love and your consideration. Why then should I lose hope? Surely goodness and mercy will follow me today and every day. Thank you God.

When you think about what you do not have, also think of what you have, and try to be grateful for what you do have.

When you think all is lost but God is still there, then all is certainly not lost.

How can we worship God as long as we ignore those who are in need?

"GodInSam", my new computer is still a dream. But it is a dream that will certainly come true.

I'm in terrible trouble. And yet how is it that I'm still hopeful of relief? Thank you Lord for the peace you give in the midst of storms.

Don't feel bad because you are rejected by human beings. Feel glad because God accepts you no matter what you have done.

Some people have made a business out of serving God. Every truth is bought and sold. Every message is attached to a request for help. Yet there are others who work for God alone and unseen. They make few requests, at least not persistent ones. They work passionately despite many hardships. Is their suffering to go on unrelieved? Will people give only to those who make overt. persistent requests? Such an outcome is lamentable. Let people reach out to those who suffer silently for God.

If you give only to those who ask from you, how will you ever reward those who do not ask because they do not wish to trouble you with their burdens? Such people are more worthy of your giving. It is they that you must attend to first.

Give whatever you can even if it is little. But give. Never hesitate to give even your last penny. For that is the way of the people of God.

When we go through troubles, let those who are in Christ remember that they have already overcome them. For Christ has overcome the world for all of us, and if we are in Christ, then we too have overcome the world.

When I sin I know myself. When I fear I know myself. But when I see God I see what I can be in Him.

Aim at prosperity and you may not find God. But aim at God and you will be prosperous in the most significant way.

With God all things are possible. So be with God first and all other things will follow.

Let us first desire God's kingly rule over our lives and His righteousness. And everything else we need will follow.

God Almighty, I trust in You and in Your Son, my Lord Christ. I cast all my desperate cares on You. And I will wait on You to strengthen and deliver me. Amen

God bless you all dear people. May love reign in your hearts. And may you rejoice in God and share with one another. Amen

Seven years I have spoken about Jesus Christ and I will speak even more, if it is according to the will of God.

Thank You Lord for showing kindness to us today. We were in dire need and You supplied at the right time. Thank you so much. May You supply the needs of all Your suffering children today.

Today I may not have certain things. But I once had a great father. I still have a wonderful mother and two terrific aunts. And every gift God has given me is still with me, growing and developing in the knowledge of all that God does in me. For this I am utterly grateful. And I say, "Thank you God."

Dear Father, rest in peace. May God grant you everlasting joy and may we meet again some day. Thank you BG for being my dad.

Today I remember my father B. Ganesan. When I was a young boy, I briefly lost vision in my left eye, following an accident. In the first hospital where I was examined, a doctor announced to my father that I would never regain my vision and that I would see the world with only one eye. A few moments later, my father broke down and wept bitterly lamenting over my fate. That was the first time I had seen him cry, and I was totally shocked by his reaction. It was only years later that I realized that his strange reaction revealed the depth of his love for me.

Today I remember my father, B. Ganesan (aka George Godfrey) who passed away 10 years ago. This is his birth anniversary day. For many years while he lived, he and I did not get along very well. But before his death, God inspired me to visit my father. A few days before his last birthday I asked my father to forgive me for all my wrongs against him. He forgave me and blessed me. For these great acts I have only God to thank. He placed love in my heart for my father and enabled me to express it before it was too late. I praise God for His merciful consideration.

On the promise of God I stand today. What I lack is not important. What I have is all that matters. God is what I have. And His grace is sufficient for me at all times, even now, as I experience severe lack. And He WILL supply all my needs, no matter how hopeless it may look.

For God who gave me many ideas in the last seven years to convey a simple message of His love, I say thank you.

When you need help give help.

Lord.I know that you will not fail me ever. Even though your answer has not arrived, I wait in hope, trusting in your unchanging nature and unfailing mercy. You are my Father and I am your son, and nothing will change that.

God bless you and strengthen you today to face the challenges of life.

Be happy with what you get even if what you get is little. And thank God for it.

For God to act you should be willing to wait indefinitely.

To see God you must wait.

When God disappoints me let me think about the times when He delighted me.

Don't base your faith on feelings and happenings. Base it on ultimate truths regarding God. And be willing to trust those truths even if you should walk into a furnace.

When you need consolation console someone else. When you need to believe inspire someone else to believe.

God shall supply the needs of His people. So do not fear. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. He will supply your needs today. Amen.

If you are wondering whether anyone cares know this. God cares. So cast your cares on Him and trust Him to take care of them. Stop worrying because nothing good comes out of it.

What is my work? In a childhood dream I cried out to a raging inferno in the sky, "I will serve you!" Though there was no reply from the Fire, my heart raged with a mad desire to attach myself to Him, whom I instinctively knew to be God. Today after seven years of speaking for Him, I ask, "Who is God? And why should I care about Him?" And the answer is this, "There is no me without Him. There is no us without Him. There will be no us if we do not attach ourselves to Him. Without God there is no hope for Man." And this is why I will continue to urge the world to go to Him.

All things are possible to him who believes. Today I believe that all things are possible in my life.

God bless you. Be well. Trust in God and don't depend on your understanding.

God bless all His people today. May He listen to their prayers and attend to their needs.

I have spoken for Jesus Christ for seven years. Now I rest, because my computer has failed me. I would love to speak again for God. I have prayed to Him to send me help to purchase a new computer. May God answer my prayer and send help.

Sayings Of Samuel Godfrey George - August 2014

My beautiful Lenovo Y510p with Intel Ci7 processor and full HD display has become my new tool of love. Born on 30 August 2014 "GodInSam" will take the love of God to places where it is not even suspected.

When nothing seems possible, that's when God will do it for us.

I have got more than what I wanted. I can only thank God for it.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. And all that is within me bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul. And forget not His benefits. And my brand new Lenovo Y510p with a Ci7 processor is my latest blessing from God. And it now sits on my table. And I am typing on it right now. What a long wait! And what a great ending!

"GodInSam" is here. Thank you God for my new computer. The dream has been fulfilled. A prayer has been answered. God is great.

I will be the man that God designed me to be.

What I learned in the darkest hours is that there is a beauty that only turbulence can disclose.

Don't be upset today if you have failed. God knows your heart. And He will help you express it.

Today I don't know just what to do. So I cast all my cares on my God, for He cares for me.

May God bless all of us today. Let us remember His benefits.

God WILL supply our needs today. Let us rest in this promise.

Lord, I need your help today. Attend to your needy children today.

God bless you all today. May you glorify Him in all that you do. May He supply all your needs and grant you rest and healing.

Let my passion for God be endless.

My doubts will not prevail over me.

May I continue to glorify my king, the Lord Jesus Christ, in these dark and troubled times.

May God reverse the tough situation in which we find ourselves today. May God bring us relief in this difficult time.

May I continue to glorify God in whatever way I can. Lord, let my joy in you continue. Make a way for me where there seems to be no way. Let my ministry continue. Amen

In times when we don't know, let God be our eyes.

God is the only one you can wait for confidently.

I'll wait as long as God wants me to wait. I am confident of His affirmative answer to my prayer. But let His will be done.

To rest in confidence in the might of God and the certainty of His providence is faith.

Stop with the trying. Start with the believing.

I am poor. But my God is rich. So I am well.

I'm only a servant. A servant of God. And that's enough for me.

There is always God after anything. So whatever happens wait for God.

A friend who goes beyond a well-wisher, who actually translates her good-will into helpful action, is a friend par excellence.

With difficulty comes experience, and with experience knowledge. You discover your friends when they respond to your struggle.

What has happened to me? I wanted to serve only myself. But why did I decide to serve God? I wanted to keep my voice a secret. But why did I make it public? I knew nothing about computers. But why did I choose to work on one? I truly despised the Bible once, but why did I begin to read it so greedily? Slowly but surely a great hunger and an even greater determination appeared within me. I must know God as well as I can, and I must speak about Him as well as I can. For seven years I banged away at a computer editing my voice that recorded the words of God in the dead of night. For years I walked into snake-infested thickets holding my own camera strenuously as I struggled to voice my emergence into light. Yes I walked out of utter darkness and now I stand in God's blazing light. Miracles that I never asked for or expected have happened to me.

This is love. God loved me even before I knew there was a God. For many years I wandered with a distorted notion of God. I reviled Him and all that He stood for. I embraced sin and immorality, and considered these the chief pleasures of life. But then God did not give up on me. Far from that He pursued me silently and one day pounced on me and began to have His way with me. From my unclean lips He spoke to the world. From a voice that remained hidden for years, He sounded His love. From within the dysfunctional clutter of my mind He conveyed His crystal-clear knowledge. This is the greatest miracle one will ever see: a depraved mind becoming the mind of Christ. And this is the miracle that I am.

Many times God blessed me when I didn't even wait in expectation. My greatest blessing came when God led me to my father just before his death. God inspired me to apologize to my father for many years of disrespect and coldness. This came at a time when I didn't even pray about our troubled relationship. Isn't it awe-inspiring to realize that God cares more than we do about the most important things in our lives?

It is good when people pray for one another. This is a great service of love that we render to God. Thank you to everyone who prays for another.

God bless you all. May He be there for you. May you be near Him.

Miracles are bound to happen to those who are looking for them in the right place and from the right source. The right place is Jesus. The right source is God.

"My God will not fail me today. My God will never fail me." Just say it.

God is our Father. We are His children. May God love us today and provide for us. May we love Him and show our gratitude to Him by telling others about His great faithfulness.

Let us make a list of every good thing that God has done for us. This will help us thank Him better. For the sole purpose of our lives is to thank God for all His goodness.

There was a time in my life when I didn't give thanks to God for anything. I didn't even know that He had something to do with what was going on in my life. Now I give thanks to God for everything that I can think of. It just occurred to me that it may never be possible for me to thank God for every thing that happened in my life. Without Him there will be no me and nothing to thank Him for.

Thank God that there is a God. There is a God out there who cares and who loves. Let me go to Him today and receive His love.

Let God supply the needs of His people today. He has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted ones. Be comforted, for your Lord WILL provide.

You came before me. I cried out my servitude to you. Then I forgot all about you. After many years you came back to me again. I fell in love with you. You broke me bit by bit and trained me to be your servant. You gently led me into the light. And you encouraged me to speak. I spoke, then sang. And then you silenced me. Will I speak again? I don't want to know. It's your wish. Let it be done.

I have spoken for God just as I promised. Even if I should never speak again for Him, I can always rejoice in what I did, for that will never be erased.

I'm glad that God gave me six years to speak about what He has done with me, and what He can do with you. Even if I don't have another moment to do that again I can rest peacefully.

Rest from your worry and ceaseless activity. God will supply your needs.

Take heart. God has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted. He has heard our cries and will respond to them.

Let your dream not die.

Sorry Lord. Sorry that I tried to move without you. And now you've put me in my place.Thank you.

I believe in a God who restores. So I will not sit around and complain about what I lost. I look forward to God's restoration of every good thing that I lost.

The church must welcome sinners of the worst kind to be anything like Christ. And it must let them stay.

Should prostitutes not hang around with the man of God? Did God himself not hang around with prostitutes while he was on earth?

Mistakes are my best teachers. O may the best teachers abound in my life!

It is God who turns the dream into action. God turned my dream into action and the action will go on.

To sit somewhere and whine about what didn't happen is just not me. I go on with the intent to relish this moment, to acknowledge gratefully what I still have.

I expect God to answer my prayers. I expect God to give me something better than what I want. He is a God who gives, and He gives more than what I ask or imagine.
 

It is when something appears impossible that it becomes possible for the one who believes in God. I cling to this hope. But let God be god. And let me be a man who will always hope in Him.

Today, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his death, I remember my father with gratitude. He may not have always shown himself to be a loving or caring man. Very often he revealed himself to be the opposite. But with God I was able to see my father in a way that I could have never seen him before. I saw a man who loved me and cared for me in his own flawed way. I saw a father who wept for his child when he nearly lost his eye. I saw a man who cared for me in small yet memorable ways. I saw a man who never really asked me to be anything but myself. I saw a father whom I had never seen before. With God I saw my father. And today my eyes well with tears again, this time in gratitude to God for enabling me to see my father and to love him like a son before he passed away from this world. Thank you Father for showing me my father.

Dance only to your tune even without applause.

Dislike is better than apathy.

Give before you speak.

Throw out that ego out and you'll feel a lot lighter.

Celebrate your mother while she is still here.

Let us not be reluctant to give today. Let us be the first to give. And let us give generously.

I smile today only because of God.

Ask God. Believe that He will do what you ask. And that will do.

All children of God will always be blessed. Be sure of this. Expect your blessing and give thanks to God.

I say to myself today, "If God is for me, who can be against me? Why should I fear when God is with me? He will be with me in trouble and will ultimately deliver me from it. God uses trouble only to strengthen my faith and deepen my trust in Him. When His purposes are fulfilled, He will order the trouble to leave me. I will never be alone. Thank you God for promising to stay with me always, especially in trouble. Even when I walk towards death I will not fear, for I know that You are with me. I will not be intimidated by the difficulties in life, for I know that You have overcome the world, and as I am in You, I too have overcome the world. In fact I am more than a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ. Nothing is impossible for me when God is with me."

I say to myself today, "Because I love God He will rescue me and protect me from all harm. He will be with me in trouble and will deliver me. Because I have made Him my refuge, no harm will befall me. No disaster will come near me. God is my refuge and my fortress. I trust in Him. I will not be anxious for anything. I cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me. I will not let my heart be troubled or fearful. For God is my strength, and I trust in Him. Thank you God for commanding your angels to guard me in all my ways. Thank you Lord for promising to deliver me from all my troubles."

I say to myself today, "I am a child of the Most High God. I am blessed and cannot be cursed. I am blessed when I come in. I am blessed when I go out. God has a good plan for me and a future that I can look forward to. With God I will live life to the full. Because the Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want. He will supply all my needs. His grace is sufficient for me. He will give me more than what I ask or imagine. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell with God forever. I will bless my God forever and will never forget His blessings."

When God seems to be doing nothing, He is certainly doing something. So don't give up on God. Expect Him to meet your need.

Sleep well today. God is with you. And He will take care of you. Those who will stay awake, be sure of this. There is a God in heaven who cares about you. Leave your life in His hands and and rest knowing that it is well placed.

Let us expect to be blessed by God today. No matter what your situation is, trust in God and keep trusting in Him. Cast your cares on Him, and try not to worry about them. God will certainly carry our burdens. He made this very clear to me yesterday. Many times God has saved me. Yet I still panic whenever I get into trouble. But God is there and He will save. This is my message to you today. Don't give up on God. He will not forsake you.

There is no fear in love. So do not be afraid to love. Love God first and then love whatever you want. For those who love God will learn to love like Him.

Don't entertain fear as long as you entertain God.

Praying and believing for something is no easy task. Ask Elijah about the time he prayed for rain. He had to send his servant seven times to find out if there was any sign of rain in the skies. Finally after the seventh inspection the servant reported a cloud the size of a man's fist. And this was all the encouragement that Elijah needed. He sprinted probably like no man had ever done. He ran ahead of King Ahab's chariot and the rain.What seemed like a tiny, insignificant cloud turned into massively threatening rain clouds in a short while. This is how quickly God will bring forth an answer after a prolonged delay.

This is my prayer to God today: "Lord, I would like you to supply my needs today. But if you don't, please supply the needs of your other children who are crying out to you day and night. I don't need to tell you this. But this is my request to a God who truly cares."

God bless all His children today. And may He supply their needs.

When in need give. Give and you will receive even more.

Without giving you cannot love.

God is a giver. And if I want to be like God I should give. I cannot love God without loving the people He created. And I love another by giving something of value that is needed.

How can we worship God as long as we ignore my brother or sister in need?

My greatest weakness is also my greatest strength. Because when I am weak then I am strong.

If God be for us who can be against us? Let us believe this and say it more often.

Many times I go with my gut instinct. Rationalizing it will rob me of a potential miracle. Or so I imagine.

Lord, don't hide from me today. Answer me quickly.

I bless God today for enabling me to speak to people. He has put the desire in me to convey the faith that I have received from Him. Today I realize that I am merely a channel through which He conveys His message. My voice, my message, my faith - they all belong to Him.

As we ask God to show us mercy let us show mercy to all those who have hurt us.

Let us who are close to despair remember this. God has a good plan for us.

God will never leave us nor forsake us in our time of need.

Let us who wait on God not panic today. He WILL NOT fail us.

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed in the lives of all who trust in Him.

O Lord do more for us than we can even ask or think. On your bounteous nature we count today.

The God of the Bible is a miracle worker. He saves His people miraculously. Today I pray that He meets the needs of all His people, who are waiting for His miraculous intervention in their lives. May God supply the needs of His people today.
