"'Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. If you are faithful in the little things, you will be faithful in the large ones. But if you are dishonest in the little things, you won’t be honest with great responsibilities.' Luke 16:9-11
In the silence, in the prayer, in the stillness, in the discovery----That is where He plants the loyal spirit within us.
It is in the places where no one else sees-That is where true growth happens.
In the 'secret place,' the 'in between,' in the 'world-between-worlds' of our hearts-That is where the longing and desires will come to life & soon become reality.
In the humility of taking on the small moments step by step-That is where New Life begins.
When we humbly approach the Lord, life springs up from the suffering & pain--from our missteps Grace brings beauty, joy, celebration, & praise!
James 4:9-10 'Let there be tears for what You have done. Let there be sorrow & deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, & gloom instead of joy. Humble yourself before the Lord, & He will lift you up in honor.'
Isaiah 61:3 'He will give you a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. They will be called Oaks of Righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.'" -Wynn Howell
