He saw you with a body that gets sick and a heart that grows weak. He saw you in your own garden of gnarled trees and sleeping friends. He saw you staring into the pit of your own failures and the mouth of your own grave. He saw you in your own garden of Gethsemane and he didnt want you to be alone ... He would rather go to hell for you than to heaven without you.” ― Max Lucado 305 likes Like “When my daughter was a toddler, I used to take her to a park not far from our apartment. One day as she was playing in a sandbox, an ice-cream salesman approached us. I purchased her a treat, and when I turned to give it to her, I saw her mouth was full of sand. Where I had intended to put a delicacy, she had put dirt. Did I love her with dirt in her mouth? Absolutely. Was she any less of my daughter with dirt in her mouth? Of course not. Was I going to allow her to keep the dirt in her mouth? No way. I loved her right where she was, but I refused to leave her there. I carried her over to the water fountain and washed out her mouth. Why? Because I love her. God does the same for us. He holds us over the fountain. Spit out the dirt, honey, our Father urges. Ive got something better for you. And so he cleanses us of filth; immorality, dishonesty, prejudice, bitterness, greed. We dont enjoy the cleansing; sometimes we even opt for the dirt over the ice cream. I can eat dirt if I want to! we pout and proclaim. Which is true—we can. But if we do, the loss is ours. God has a better offer.” ― Max Lucado, Just Like Jesus 284 likes Like “I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.” ― Max Lucado tags: christian, gentleness, inspirational 273 likes Like “What you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass. He views your life the way you view a movie after youve read the book. When something bad happens, you feel the air sucked out of the theater. Everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. Not you. Why? Youve read the book. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot. God views your life with the same confidence. Hes not only read your story...he wrote it. ” ― Max Lucado, Grace for the Moment Daily Bible-NCV 247 likes Like “Be a child again. Flirt. Giggle. Dip your cookies in your milk. Take a nap. Say youre sorry if you hurt someone. Chase a butterfly. Be a child again.” ― Max Lucado, When God Whispers Your Name 222 likes Like “Remember, you are special because I made you. And I dont make mistakes.” ― Max Lucado 190 likes Like “Nature is Gods first missionary. Where there is no Bible there are sparkling stars. Where there are not preachers there are spring times... If a person has nothing but nature, then nature is enough to reveal something about God.” ― Max Lucado 179 likes Like “Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.” ― Max Lucado, Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear 164 likes Like “I Choose Love... No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves. I Choose Joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God. I Choose Peace... I will live forgiven. I will forgive so I may live. I Choose Patience... I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, Ill invite him to do so, Rather complain that the wait is to long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage. I Choose Kindness... I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for that is how God has treated me. I Choose Goodness... I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I accuse. I choose goodness. “He loves each one of us like there is only one of us to love... (when God whisper your name)” ― Max Lucado
