Quotes and Lyrics

"Our sanctification does not depend upon changing our works, but in doing for God's sake that which we commonly do for our own." -Brother Lawrence

"[God] seems to do nothing of Himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures. He commands us to do slowly and blunderingly what He could do perfectly and in the twinkling of an eye." -"Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World"

"We only trust people we know. If you are struggling to trust God, it may be because you don't really know God." -Martha Tennison

"Kelly I don't think
I've ever wanted as much
to be free as
I've wanted to be known

The things I hate
when I look at my life
the worst is my
being alone."

"Mi socorro ha sido tu
En la sombra de tus alas
yo me gozare

Mi alma esta pegada a ti
Porque tu diestra
me ha sostenido"

"The dreams I dream for you,
are deeper than the ones you're clinging to
more precious than the finest things you do
If you relent the treasures you pursue...

Let the old dreams die
like stars that fade from view
and take the cup I offer
and drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you"

-Point of Grace




"All my reaching and yearning and striving is not to belong to Christ (which has already happened) but to complete what is lacking in my likeness to Him" - John Piper "The Passion of the Christ"
