Prodigal: This is going to be an amazing quilt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: You can’t hide the sun, the moon, or the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book God’s Psychiatry by Charles L. Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” and that law of life we are guilty of breaking. There are five objects of worship which multitudes today have put before God: wealth, fame, pleasure, power, and knowledge. While most of us have no idea of ever being really rich, we never become satisfied with what we can reasonable possess. Maybe that is good, except when that dissatisfaction obscures our feelings for God and diverts us in our search for God. I can become so interested in what I have that I forget the needs of my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! John 1:47 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
