“Jesus' final act of public ministry was to address the needs of a widow, his own mother, whose eldest son was dying before her very eyes.” JesusCompassionMinistry Book:Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women Source: Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women
“God is shaking his daughters awake and summoning us to engage. His vision for us is affirming and raises the bar for all of us. We cannot settle for less. We have work to do. There's a kingdom to build, and what we do truly matters. Our compass is fixed on Jesus. We can no longer listen to those who call us to love him with less than all our heart and soul and strength and mind. We may not have titles, position, or power in the eyes of others, but leadership is in our DNA. The call to rule and subdue places kingdom responsibility on our shoulders.” JesusLeadershipGod S Message For Women Book:Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women Source: Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women
“I have to ask myself how I can possibly expect to know Jesus as he would want to be known if my life remains unscathed by trouble and grief. How can I hope to grasp anything of God's heart for this broken planet if I never weep because its brokenness touches me and breaks my heart? How can I reflect his image if I never share in his sufferings? And how will any of us ever learn to treasure his hesed and grace if we never experience phases where these blessings seem absent?” IfsKnowsWantHeartI CanSeemsSufferingAsksJesusGriefKnownBreakGraceTroubleSharePlanetsBrokenMy HeartBlessingRemainsTreasurePhasesAbsentBrokennessTouch MeBreaking My Heart Author:Carolyn Custis James
