"You aren’t an accident or an incident; you are a gift to the world, a divine work of art, signed by God." ~ Max Lucado

Great one! Here are a few that I've had on my facebook page that mean a lot to me....

"I think if we were given the Scriptures, it was not so that we could prove that we were right about everything. If we were given the Scriptures, it was to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing."---Rich Mullins

"Forgiveness is setting a prisioner free and finding out that prisioner was YOU." Steven Furtick

"As the walls crash down around you, remember this simple truth...No matter how bad it gets, God is holding up the roof." ---Jeremy Lampman

"Our failures never foil the purposes of Almighty God in our lives." --Dr. Stephen Corts

"In the economy of God the highest aim and the standard of greatness in any life is how much, how often, and how well that life points to and pursues Jesus...and only Jesus." Dr. Stephen Corts

Get Off The Scale!

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchan...ting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.

It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!

“It’s not about what you’ve done but what’s been done for you;

It’s not about where you’ve been but where your brokeness brings you to;

It’s not about what you feel but what He felt to forgive you, what He felt to make you loved.”

[Jenna09]

"You are a person. You are not only your pain. You are not only wounds and scars. You are also better things. You are possibility and promise, hope and healing, daydreams, favorite books and favorite songs. You are the people that you love and the people who love you. You are hope and change and things worth fighting for. This is all your story and your story isn't over."
-Jamie T. (twloha)

"Love is not just an emotion, as the world sees it. It is action. While admittedly it does have emotion involved with it, it is not as unstable or changeable as emotions are. Affections come and go, grow and fade, but love does not. It is constant because it is more than emotion; it is more of a constant state of selflessness that produces action." -BJ Higgins (I Would Die For You)


"We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love" -Jamie T. (from the twloha story)

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." - Oscar Wilde

"Imagine, a Being with a mind as great as God's, with feet like trees and a voice like rushing wind, telling you that you are His cherished creation." -Donald Miller

"It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things" -Donald Miller

Don't do something permanently stupid just because you're temporarily upset.
