“We have this weird compartmentalization thing that happens where you don’t think God sees all that you are or if He could have somehow knew who you were going to be, He wouldn’t have gone to the cross. God knew you were gonna be messy. Christ knew you were gonna be messy. God knows that you’re going to screw up often, He knows you’re going to be drawn to things that are wicked. That’s what the cross is all about. That’s the whole point of the cross is that you’re going to fail and you’re going to stumble and you’re going to feel dirty and you’re going to feel awkward. The whole point of the cross of Christ is there be this mighty picture of His love and pursuit of you, despite you. So the cross is necessary because of you, but it’s also the picture we have of how far God is willing to go because He loves you.”

“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”

““He’s on the verge of winning four MVPs in five years, and he’ll be the last one to leave the gym today. He understands the gift God gave him. He understands that not many have it and it doesn’t last for too long, and he wants to make sure he maximizes all of it.””

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.”

“Every fit of laughter, every delectable morsel of food, and every single smile is the result of his mercy and grace; he owes us none of it.”

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:30:26 -0400

“Romans 8:1 tells us that there is no condemnation for us, not because of all the great stuff we’ve done but because Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death. My sin in the past: forgiven. My current struggles: covered. My future failures: paid in full by the marvelous, infinite, matchless grace found in the atoning work of the cross of Jesus Christ.”

- Matt Chandler

“The idolatry that exists in man’s heart always wants to lead him away from his Savior and back to self-reliance no matter how pitiful that self-reliance is or how many times it has betrayed him.”

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:30:13 -0400

“For some reason - namely, our depravity - we have a tendency to think that the cross saves us from past sin, but after we are saved, we have to take over and clean ourselves up. This sort of thinking is devastating to the soul.”

“The Gospel is the heart of the Bible. Everything in Scripture is either preparation for the Gospel, presentation of the Gospel, or participation in the Gospel.”

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:34:43 -0400

“He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more. He overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it.”

- Charles H. Spurgeon (via yesdarlingido)

"Imagine you woke up today without any memory of anything negative ever having happened to you...."

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 17:30:16 -0400

“Imagine you woke up today without any memory of anything negative ever having happened to you. Imagine you could ‘let go’ of the past completely (true forgiveness). You would have no regrets or grievances and no fear of the future. Now THAT would be living in a state of Grace. Treat every hour as if it’s your first and you will find peace. Forgive your enemy. Forgive your teacher, your boss, your significant other. Forgive your body. Forgive your crappy car. Forgive the tedium of your job. And if you really want peace, forgive yourself, which only means to see yourself as God does. Without blame.”

- Ted Dekker (via selfishfuckingmachines)

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:30:16 -0400

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”

- Ernest Hemingway (via klarally)
