Untitled Sermon (2)

Quotes

10883 Pearls are the product of pain … a precious, tiny jewel conceived through irritation, born of adversity, nursed by adjustments. Some oysters are never wounded … and those who seek for gems toss them aside, fit only for stew.

It is amazing to me! There are people within the ranks of Christianity who have been taught and who believe that Christ will shield His followers from wounds of every kind.

If the truth were known, the saints of God in every age were only effective after they had been wounded. They experienced the humbling wounds that brought contrition, compassion and a yearning for the knowledge of God. I could only wish that more among the followers of Christ knew what some of the early saints meant when they spoke of being wounded by the Holy Spirit.

Men Who Met God, 59.

A sign of maturity is when you go from a thick skin and a hard heart to a tough skin and a soft heart.

1196If you have not a broken heart, only Christ can give it to you. If you cannot come to him with it, come to him for it. If you cannot come to him wounded, come to him that he may wound you and make you whole. You need bring nothing to Jesus.—22.379

We are faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
