Yesterday, I was blown away once again by the friends God has placed in my life. Specifically, that I have friends who take their faith seriously and follow Jesus with passion and commitment. Not only that, but they’re happy to share their lives with others. Yesterday, I was blessed to read their thoughts online. Here’s what they wrote:
“Whether it is personal, physical, or spiritual, it sucks to be the clay. It sucks to be a blob of nothingness. I think it sucks more when God starts shaping you, because change hurts… And thats ok. EVERYTHING works out for the glory of God. He loves us, more than the birds of the air or the flowers of the field. And while growing pains may be necessary, it will pass, and we will be better for it.” -Blake on being clay
“Thus the Christian life is not a heavy burden, but the light yoke of Jesus, lived in joyful acceptance of God’s daily mercies.” -quoted by Stephanie on being a living sacrifice
“i want want want to be blameless and pure. i know that i won’t make it there before i go to meet Jesus face to face. but it is something to strive for. something to seek Him to do in me. without Him i’m not capable of anything close to that!” -Adam on complaining
“in each situation, in each circumstance, Jesus is there, present, giving what i need in order to be brought nearer to Him.” -Gene on the personal presence of Jesus
