QUOTE FOR TODAY 12/9/23

Humility Brings Wisdom

Most fights aren't about policy & principle, or about right or wrong; they're almost always about pride.  "Pride leads to conflict".
Quarrels are fuelled by pride, by needing to be right, by wanting our way, or by defending our turf or our egos. 
On the other side, wisdom resides with the well-advised-those who listen & learn, those who allow themselves to be instructed.  There is wisdom in those who allow themselves to be instructed.  There is wisdom in those who humble themselves - those who set aside their own selfish ambition; who acknowledge the limits of their own understanding; who listen to other person's point of view; who allow their own ideas to be corrected.  This is the wisdom from God that spreads peace wherever it goes.
 - David Roper

Where there is strife, there is pride, 
but wisdom is found in those who
take advice.
 - Proverbs 13:10

Trust In The Lord's plan 9/11/23

God will sometimes stretch you beyond your natural comfort zone, often requiring you to do things you don't want to do, and give away the things you cherish  most.  It is not His intent to deprive you, but to get you beyond having dependence on anything other  than Him.  If God requires something that seems sacrificial, I encourage you not to allow your mind to reason away this wonderful opportunity to know Him better. Trust me, there is nothing you can give that is greater than what God will give you in return. -freeda bowers Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight ❤️
