Faith Looks Back And Draws

We Abandon The Most Important Journey Of Our Lives When We Abandon Desire. We Leave Our Hearts By The Side Of The Road And Head Off In The Direction Of Fitting In, Getting By, Being Productive, What Have You. Whatever We Might Gain – Money, Position, The Approval Of Others, Or Just Absence Of The Discontent Self – It’s Not Worth It.

A Soldier Surrounded By Enemies, If He Is To Cut His Way Out, Needs To Combine A Strong Desire For Living With A Strange Carelessness About Dying. He Must Not Merely Cling To Life, For Then He Will Be A Coward, And Will Not Escape. He Must Not Merely Wait For Death, For Then He Will Be A Suicide, And Will Not Escape. He Must Seek His Life In A Spirit Of Furious Indifference To It; He Must Desire Life Like Water And Yet Drink Death Like Wine.

Caring For Your Heart Is Also How You Protect Your Relationship With God... [the Heart] Is Where We Commune With Him. It Is Where We Hear His Voice. Most Of The Folks I Know Who Have Never Heard God Speak To Them Are The Same Folks Who Live Far From Their Hearts.

Have You Thought About His (god) Handling Of The Gospel? God Needs To Get A Message Out To The Human Race, Without Which They Will Perish...foreve R. What's The Plan? First, He Starts With The Most Unlikely Group Ever: A Couple Of Prostitutes, A Few Fishermen With No Better Than A Second-grade Education, A Tax Collector. Then, He Passes The Ball To Us. Unbelievable.

Don't Climb On That, Don't Break Anything, Don't Be So Aggressive, Don't Be So Noisy, Don't Be So Messy, Don't Make Such Crazy Risks. But God's Design - Which He Placed In Boys As The Picture Of Himself - Is A Resounding Yes. Be Fierce, Be Wild, Be Passionate.
