He should be my first love; everything else in life pales in comparison and cannot satisfy.
On Integrity:
Compromise is not an option; when I know i have, i know i'm not looking towards God.
On Choice:
I can choose the kind of music I listen to on the radio and by ridding myself of inappropriate thoughts, I can renew it with something pure and good.
On Guys:
I shouldn't be emotionally dependent on any guy because only God can fill the void in all our hearts.
On Presence:
It is a gift to others to be living in the present instead of dwelling in the past, the future, or our fantasies.
On Worry:
Did you know God named Cyrus 160 years before he was even born? We are secure and meant to be (not as sinners but as followers of Christ living out his commandments every day).
On Priorities:
God's greatest commandment is to love Him with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind. "Seek Ye first and all these things will be added unto you."
On Perspective:
God is sovereign. Everything that seems like a big deal to us, especially our career, is small to God and nothing He can't handle.
On Idols:
Isaiah talks about a parable of the craftsman cutting up a piece of wood, making a part an idol, the rest for fire to cook over and keep warm. The humor is found in the wood. Everything on earth is wood, and will deteriorate. Are there any idols in your life?
On Judgment:
Judge and be judged. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Instead, love your neighbor as yourself. Leave your thoughts at the door.
On Forgetfulness:
To make God my first love is to always think about Him.
On Relationships:
To be natural in my movements is to enjoy life more. To build on relationships is to act upon them.
On Sin:
Satan is the ruler of earth, but as a Christian, God is the ruler of my life and I am to be found pure and blameless before Him.
On Strength:
To have strength is to know suffering.
On Wisdom:
To gain wisdom is to be silent and observe. To have godly wisdom is to lay broken in the arms of God.
On Power:
To recognize we have free-will, but to practice obedience. Do you have convictions?
On Bitterness:
It is an infestation, and a poison. It will always resurface no matter how many times I bury it or am too lazy to face it. Anger feeds it. Just have faith (not belief, but faith).
On Motives:
To dress nicely is to be elegant. To dress seductively is to not know God.
On Maturity:
To be mature is to acknowledge your independence, but remember your responsibilities.
On Disappointment:
Be discerning when to choose to do things for others or to do things for yourself.
On Riches:
Blinded by it and blessed by it.
