“I like to bless people and do things without the world knowing about it, because I'm not in it for the glory. I do it because it comes from my heart. As long as I keep doing that, I'm satisfied.” PeopleWorldHeartLongKnowingMy HeartGlorySatisfiedBless Author:Adrian Peterson
“Both good and evil, when they are full grown, become retrospective...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporary suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. And of some sinful pleasure they say 'Let me but have this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin.” InspirationalLittlesDreamPastSufferingTurnsEvilHeavenReligiousSinPleasureKnowingGloryConsequenceLet MeSpreadMortalsBlissGood And EvilTemporaryNot KnowingAgonyBackwardsDamnationRetrospectiveGreat Divorce Author:C.

“Worship is what we were created for. This is the final end of all existence-the worship of God. God created the universe so that it would display the worth of His glory. And He created us so that we would see this glory and reflect it by knowing and loving it-with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. The church needs to build a common vision of what worship is and what she is gathering to do on Sunday morning and scattering to do on Monday morning.” NeedsMindHeartSoulEndsUniverseChurchCommonExistenceVisionMorningKnowingWorshipGloryFinalsSundayDisplayMondayGatheringHeart And SoulMonday MorningSunday MorningCommon Vision Author:John Piper
“The secret to responsible trust is acceptance. Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving, knowing that the confinement of the hedge we're in is good and for His glory. Even though what we're enduring may be painful, it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it.” GivingMayHandsFacesSecretKnowingAcceptanceGloryResponsibleEndurePainfulConfinement Book:Perfect Trust Source: Perfect Trust
