Me:  Sure, that would be fun!

 

Prodigal:  What have you been reading lately?

 

The book Beyond OurSelves by Catherine Marshall

 

For I have always felt that God is not half so concerned about our having a few negative thoughts as He is concerned with what we do.  And the act of placing what we cherish most in His hands is to Him the sweet music of the essence of faith.  This kind of faith can be used to solve any type of problem.

 

When we hold on tight to anything of this world then we lose our joy and our focus.  Our thoughts and behaviors become obsessed with that object.  We forget the joy of just being alive and knowing Jesus.  We are so scared then to release that to God.  Yet after we do release this to God then he has a way of changing everything and we then are able to see how MUCH God really does love us!

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
