This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Jesus, how sweet is the very thought of you! You fill my heart with joy. The sweetness of your love surpasses the sweetness of honey. Nothing sweeter than you can be described; no words can express the joy of your love. Only those who have tasted your love for themselves can comprehend it. In your love you listen to all my prayers, even when my wishes are childish, my words confused, and my thoughts foolish. And you answer my prayers, not according to my own misdirected desires, which would bring only bitter misery; but according to my real needs, which brings me sweet joy. Thank you, Jesus, for giving yourself to me.

Bernard of Clairvaux

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

When you received Jesus as your Savior, you began to live in two homes—earth and heaven. You were born the first time into your earthly family. Now you have been born again into the family of God. You are a citizen of both worlds. Your new heavenly home is the biggest one. It is God’s home. It is yours because you are united to Jesus and heaven is where he lives. But we don’t need to wait until we die to visit heaven. Prayer is the airline to our heavenly homeland. We walk heaven’s streets and view its wonders each time we fellowship with the Lord.

Ben Jennings

The mind of a Pharisee thinks truth is more important than love, but Jesus showed us that love is the most important part of truth.

Don Francisco

“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.”

Do you attract attention toward or away from God?

Unknown

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:13-16
The New Living Translation

What’s a miracle, Andy?
God.
That’s all?
God payin’ attention to you.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians—those who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny him by their live style. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

Brennan Manning

Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

Proverbs 8:10-11
The Revised Standard Version

How would you like your eternity? With or without God?
