“Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.” IfsWantHas BeensRealFaithJesusWaitingGoalChristReligiousDarkLordWillingCircumstancesBlessingLetting GoJesus ChristPreparedPermanentEvidentPointingOur LordDark TimesWilling To Wait Author:Oswald Chambers
“Fundamentally, our Lord's message was Himself. He did not come merely to preach a Gospel; He himself is that Gospel. He did not come merely to give bread; He said, "I am the bread." He did not come merely to shed light; He said, "I am the light." He did not come merely to show the door; He said, "I am the door." He did not come merely to name a shepherd; He said, "I am the shepherd." He did not come merely to point the way; He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."” WayLifeGivingSaidGodShowsLightTruthChristianFaithJesusNamesChristLordDoorsMessagesJesus ChristFundamentalsBreadShedPreachingOur LordShepherdsGreatness Of God Author:J.

“Know also that you will probably gain more by praying fifteen minutes before the Blessed Sacrament than by all the other spiritual exercises of the day. True, Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, for He has made the promise, 'Ask, and you shall receive,' but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.” KnowsMadeInspirationSpiritualFaithAsksPrayerLordGraceMinutesPrayingExercisePromiseGainsBlessedChristian InspirationalServantFifteenSacramentsOur LordOur PrayersBlessed Sacrament Author:Alphonsus Liguori
