“Saint Teresa, as the Roman Rota attests, never fell into any mortal sin; but still Our Lord showed her the place prepared for her in Hell; not because she deserved Hell, but because, had she not risen from the state of lukewarmness in which she lived, she would in the end have lost the grace of God and been damned.” StillsEndsStatesLostSinLordHellGracePreparedSaintMortalsGrace Of GodOur LordRisenTeresaMortal Sin Author:Alphonsus Liguori
“In the beginning, after this earth was prepared for man, the Lord commenced his work upon what is now called the American continent, where the Garden of Eden was made.

“We too often satisfy ourselves with the perishable things of time, forgetting the opportunities we have of developing within us the great, the eternal principles of life and truth. The Lord wishes to establish a closer and more intimate relationship between Himself and us; He wishes to elevate us in the scale of being and intelligence, and this can only be done through the medium of the everlasting Gospel which is specially prepared for this purpose.” DonePurposeOpportunityWishForgetLordPrinciplesEternalPreparedScalesMediumsDevelopingIntimateEverlastingIntimate Relationships Author:Lorenzo Snow

“I often saw weary little women coming to the table after most exhausting labors, and large, bumptious husbands spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals that the dear women had prepared, as if the whole came down like manna from heaven. So I preached a sermon in the blessing I gave. You will notice that it has three heresies in it: Heavenly Father and Mother, make us thankful for all the blessings of this life, and make us ever mindful of the patient hands that oft in weariness spread our tables and prepare our daily food.

“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
“One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” That's a perfect example of trust. Sometimes you can trust and hope that everything is going to be rosy and God doesn't promise that. He promises that He's got our backs and He's prepared a place for us.” WayHeartSometimesUnderstandingPerfectLordPathExamplePromiseDirectPreparedMy FavoriteScriptureAcknowledgeRosyTrust In The LordAcknowledge Him Author:Mike Fisher
