"In the areas of true faith, i am gradually unlearning my addiction with common sense, which often competes with full surrender to God's desires." -kww
Now, i begin again to choose "to wholly trust" over "having to make sense of everything."
Pastor Kerry Willis
"God loved the people in the world so much that he gave his one and only Son to save them. As a result, everyone who believes in the Son will not die. Instead, they will live for ever with God. God did not send his Son into the world because he wanted to punish people. He sent his Son to save the people in the world from punishment." John 3:16-17 EASY
So, i begin again to give thanks to You, Father God, for giving Your one and only Son to be the Savior of the world and of even me, especially me. Amen.
Pastor Kerry Willis
“If Jesus in His great power and oneness with God could feel the urgent necessity of communion with the Father, how much more you and I need to go to the Father for the strength that fills our weakness and the knowledge that fills our ignorance. We must come to Him moment by moment for all the needs that are ours. Prayer brings us into a fellowship with God that nothing else can provide.” -Donald Barnhouse
Now, i begin again to seek constant communion with Father God.

“Apart from the dominating inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we will fail to see the deadliness of Sin in our attitudes and will neglect to realize how essential it is that we are crucified with Christ that we might no longer live but that He might finally live His Resurrection Life within us.” -kww #Holiness
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 NKJV
Now, i begin again to cry out: “Holiness is what i long for; Holiness is what i need!”
Pastor Kerry Willis
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.” -C.S. Lewis
Now, i begin again to love vulnerably.

"Lord, beyond You answering all of my prayers, let me be an answer to some of Your prayers." Amen."
Now, i begin again to surrender my all for Your desires. Amen.
