attitudes

“We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” - Charles R. Swindoll

my failures break his heart…

I don’t have to make an enemy of God just because I’m not quite like Him yet.

I learned that more than angering Him, my failures broke His heart. I learned in order to please Him, my heart only needed to be in agreement with His. And to make agreement, I only had to yield my pride to His love.

I learned this: the entire battle… all these years… had simply been about my agreement.

sin

"Sin may be thought of as our effort to supplant what we think are limits to God's goodness. It is trusting our self instead of trusting God." Larry Crabb
