"It was a close call. All I left her was my smile. God gave me the strength to persevere against temptation ... at least for the time being." ~ Bruce Fong, page 27, "Real Life", Longings Keep Winter at Bay about resisting the sales pitch to buy a new motorbike, but with applications to any temptation.
"In doing so the Lord of the universe taught us that the best way to lead is by giving up our own selfish desires for the good of others. Jesus could have clung to his riches in heaven - untold wealth that was rightfully his. Instead, he made himself "nothing" and humbled himself even to the point of death on a cross. And he calls his followers to imitate him with unselfish acts of love and devotion." ~ Hugh Poland, page 17, "Steal Away".
"The Holy Spirit's indwelling results in living water flowing. God's love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. ... In this world that brings weariness each day, He energizes us. And He helps us beat fruit to please God. Pay attention to what He is prompting you to do this day. Listen to Him so the rivers of life will flow through your life." ~ Gregg Matte, June 23, "Capture The Moment".
