Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lost it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it." Luke 9:23:::One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passerbys see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way
Vincent van Gogh:::Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is taht we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him:::Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see
Hebrews 11:1:::..... jesus christ is my savior, if thats not cool with you... well, you can talk to me about it :)
