“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.” ThinkingMenMayLightAsksJesusForeverInfluenceTeachingModernOfficeMessagesPerfectionVoteMiracleFellowsWorkersPerseveranceGods WillApathyFellow ManMomentumSkepticPower Of GodDisinterestMiracle Worker Author:Criss Jami
“I’m washed, I’m forgiven, I’m whole, and I’m healed. I’m cleansed and I’m glory bound. I am only a sojourner on the earth. I am but a pilgrim on this planet, on my way to perfection, and I don’t need anybody to tell me who I am, because I know who I am. I am a child of the King, a son (or daughter) of God, born again through Jesus Christ, bought with the price of His blood. I am a new creation, totally new, thoroughly loved and completely accepted as a child of my Father, precious in His sight.” KnowsWayNeedsChildrenWholeEarthFatherJesusChristBornBloodCreationPlanetsSonKingsGloryDaughterJesus ChristPerfectionSightBoundsAcceptedWho I AmMy WayForgivenHealedPilgrimBorn AgainDaughter Of GodSojourners Author:Myles Munroe

“We aren't supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we'd have no need for Jesus. And it's through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we'll let them.” IfsNeedsFeelsPurposeJesusPerfectWonderfulPerfectionStriveEverydayImperfectionSavior Author:Lysa TerKeurst
“Realizing who we are and what we may become assures us that with God nothing really is impossible. From the time we learn that Jesus wants us for a Sunbeam until we learn more fully the basic principles of the gospel, we are taught to strive for perfection. It is not new to us then to talk of the importance of achievement. The difficulty arises when inflated expectations of the world alter our definition of greatness.” WorldWantMayJesusRealizingPrinciplesImpossibleGreatnessTaughtAchievementExpectationsPerfectionImportanceDifficultyStriveDefinitionsAriseWho We AreWant UBasic PrinciplesSunbeams Author:Howard W.
