SHARING SOME UPLIFTING AND INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

Here are some short thoughts, quotations and key points (many from sources unknown) that I have collected and jotted down over the years in my "little yellow book". over the years (instead of collecting stamps or bottle-tops) . They have "kept me on track" (at least I think so), uplifted, encouraged and even greatly inspired me along the writing journey ... and hope they may do the same for you, whatever path in life you may choose to travel. Perhaps I'll include them in a new manuscript, so will share with you. ENJOY...

It's a simple message - easy to understand (and not meant to be analysed)

The validity and wisdom of scripture.

The age of wisdom and experience.

A public expression of the Gospel will help change people's hearts??

God gives extraordinary assignments to ordinary people.

WE can be a channel for God's love

I choose to view God as a Personal Being, That cares deeply about our little lives (of quiet desperation)

Some "Torts" On JESUS

Christ chose US to go out and change the world. He doesn't have a PLAN B. It's up to US to be His eyes and hands to help heal a hurting world.

"Jesus is the human face of God."

Jesus was the conduit whereby the love of God was loosed to human history.

- a new awareness

- a new consciousness

The hand of God is on the earth helping people.

God's strategy is through PEOPLE - God working IN and THROUGH US

Through God's plans

God's agenda

God's energy

The God I see in Jesus is revealed in the personhood of EVERYBODY. Enhance the personhood of every person who touches your life.

My writing is my “little” gift to God. I want to be used for YOUR Honour and Glory.

The only way God can speak on planet earth is through US.

Reach Jews and Muslims with the universal message of Jesus... with God's help.

God lives THROUGH and IN people.

Jesus is a living presence.

The Comforter is the One within you.

+ caring compassion

entrepreneurial spirit

As I pray I become

Leap and the net will appear

Courage

Compassion and

Love

"A darkness we will illuminate with our hearts."

"I was in a situation where I had to make a decision - intellectual rational (one of the mind), or that of some kind of spiritual discipline and faith. The first one would be easy, the second hard. The first is about ego, the second about the battle inside you that gives life meaning.

I chose the hardest path - it was like having wings. I wanted to look at everything another way. It's no specific faith. It could be any religion - rather it's a deep belief in God and the human spirit"

- the words of Columbian hostage, Ingrid Betancourt on faith.

"In the midst of darkness, light exists."

"Lord

Reveal knowledge of YOUR will. Give me dreams to broaden my horizons and help me reach out for all the rich promises you have in store for me."

"God is a mystery absolutely transcending human experience."

"Even in the tragic events of the disaster in Japan, the hand of a deeply saddened God is on earth in the hands and eyes of unknown, unheralded rescuers, the unsung heroes, beautiful people helping others in severe distress and suffering with great spirits of sorrow, compassion, deep care and especially great love.
In the midst of the blackness of despair, light exists."
