“We compliment weight loss, monitor our appetites, and shrink ourselves to fit some kind of standard. I wish we could all be the size we actually are. One size doesn't fit all because there are as many sizes as there are women. Let's look closer at the size of our hearts, the width of our souls, and the length of our spirits.” LooksHeartKindSoulSpiritWishLossFitStandardsWeightSizeLengthComplimentAppetiteShrinksWeight LossWidth Author:Sark
“Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God's sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others' lives until they are totally yielded to God. One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit. As workers for God, we must reproduce our own kind spiritually, and those lives will be God's testimony to us as His workers. God brings us up to a standard of life through His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that same standard in others.” KindHas BeensSoulSpiritValuesGraceStandardsHundredResponsibleSalvationWorkersDevotedDiscipleSovereignTestimonyAwakenedSanctificationReproducing Author:Oswald Chambers
“Do not tell me that you have got to be rich! We have a false standard of greatness in the United States. We think here that a man must be great, that he must be notorious; that he must be extremely wealthy, or that his name must be upon the putrid lips of rumor. It is all a mistake. It is not necessary to be rich or to be great, or to be powerful, to be happy. The happy man is the successful man. Happiness is the legal tender of the soul.Joy is wealth.” ThinkingMenSoulStatesJoyNamesWealthUnitedPowerfulMistakeUnited StatesSuccessfulRichGreatnessStandardsLipsContentmentWealthyRumorNotoriousHappy ManSuccessful Man Book:The Works of Robert G.

“The soul, considered with its Creator, is like one of those mathematical lines that may draw nearer to another for all eternity without a possibility of touching it; and can there be a thought so transporting as to consider ourselves in these perpetual approaches to Him, who is not only the standard of perfection, but of happiness?” MaySoulLinesPossibilityApproachDrawsStandardsPerfectionEternityCreatorMathematicalTouchingPerpetual Book:Essays, Moral and Humorous: Also Essays on Imagination and Taste Source: Essays, Moral and Humorous: Also Essays on Imagination and Taste
