“I'm reminded of a conversation between a little girl and her mother as they walked out of church. The mother asked her how she liked church that day. The girl replied that she thought it was good, but that she was a little confused. "The pastor said that God was bigger than we are. Is that true?" she asked. The mother responded that it was indeed true. "He also said that God lives inside of us. Is that true, Mommy?" Again the mother replied, "Yes." "Well, then," said the girl, "if God is bigger than us, and if He lives inside of us, then shouldn't some of Him show through?” GodGoodnessService Book:Dancin' Toward the Dawn: Discovering Joy in the Darkness of Loneliness Source: Dancin' Toward the Dawn: Discovering Joy in the Darkness of Loneliness
“God has spoken very boldly about his desire to be a presence in our lives. If I want to heal the ache and loneliness in my own life, one of the things I need to do is get away, alone with God. . . . In the silence God will speak to you most powerfully. Too often his words to us get muffled, lost, or covered by the crowd of many noises both inside and outside of us. We must have a quiet heart in order to hear God's distinctive message to us.” IfsWantNeedsHeartGodDesireOrderLostSpeakMy OwnSilenceOur LivesLonelinessQuietMessagesCrowdsHealGods WillNoiseGet AwayMost PowerfulCoveredAcheMy Own LifeDistinctiveInside And OutsideAlone With GodQuiet Heart Author:Tim Hansel
