Each day we are called to identify with the suffering Christ on the cross, and then be empowered by the resurrected Christ. We die to our expectations, our demands, and our fears and we rise to compromise, service, and courage.
(from Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas).
A person with Godly ambition has such a heartfelt determination to bring pleasure to God that it penetrates everything he does - every thought, every decision, every word, every attitude. Though he may fall periodically, even regularly, the God-pleaser strives to have this ambition rule everything he does (from Pleasing People by Lou Priolo).
Ladies, we have such a high calling on our lives.
More of Jesus and less of us.
Praying that the spirit will lead, encourage, and empower us to live holy lives.
Love you girls,
