View Full Version : Words of Wisdom ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:34 Fellow Symbianizers, food for your thoughts :) Hope you'll like it :yipee: ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:35 If God is your co-pilot, swap seats. In the dark? Follow the Son. If you can't sleep, don't count sheep. Talk to the Shepherd. If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again. How will you spend eternity -- smoking or non-smoking? If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:35 May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house. Feed your faith and doubt will starve to death. Don't go digging where God has buried your sins. When satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you please get that for me." A clean conscience makes a soft pillow. Don't wait for the hearse to take you to church. A family altar can alter a family. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:36 A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. Give God what's right, not what's left. Exercise daily. Walk with the Lord. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone! The will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us. The ten commandments aren't prefaced with "if you're in the mood." ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:36 When the tides of life turn against you And the current upsets your boat Don't waste those tears on what might have been Just lay on your back and float! A coincidence is when God performs a miracle and decides to remain anonymous. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world. Laughter is life's shock absorber. Live your life in the manner that you would like your kids to live theirs. You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to. The Bible contains the vitamins of soul health. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:39 Take all the Bible you can on reason and the rest by faith. A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. The most essential element in any home is God. Stand still and watch the world go by -- and it will. The fact you are down isn't as important as whether you are satisfied in being there. There are two kinds of grace: saving grace and disgrace. No man ever got lost on a straight road. It's smart to pick your friends -- but not to pieces. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:40 The most valuable antiques are old friends. Keep your temper -- nobody wants it. Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job. Lead your life so you won't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too. A careless word may kindle strife A cruel word may wreck a life A timely word may level stress A loving word may heal and bless Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:41 Christianity is a verb. God gives and forgives. Man gets and forgets. Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked. No God - No peace. Know God - Know peace. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. When you're having bad dreams, turn your pillow over. The good dreams are on the other side. Worry is like a rocking chair -- it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere. Thank God for what you have -- Trust God for what you need. The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:42 One who lacks courage to start has already finished. Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light. Don't be unhappy if your dreams never come true -- just be thankful your nightmares don't. You can't keep trouble from coming, but you needn't give it a chair to sit in. Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought. Don't become discouraged. It may be the last key in the bunch that will open the door. God still speaks to those who take the time to listen. God looks not to the quantity of the gift but to the quality of the giver. Great minds discuss ideas; normal minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:44 A Christian is a living sermon whether or not he preaches a word. Conscience is that small, still voice that makes you feel smaller. When we have done what we can, God will do what we can't. Every time you turn green with envy, you are ripe for trouble. A Christian must carry something heavier on his shoulders than chips. Genuine faith is assuring, insuring and enduring. When God measures a man, he puts the tape around the heart. The truth is one thing for which there are no known substitutes. ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 15:45 Charity begins anywhere and should have no end. God makes a promise. Faith believes it. Hope anticipates it. Patience quietly awaits it. A wise man will desire no more than he can get honestly, use wisely, and leave cheerfully. Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Confess your sins, not your neighbor's. The best way to stand up before the world is to kneel down before God. Confessing your sins is no substitute for forsaking them. Learn to enjoy little things -- there are so many of them. No man has a right to do as he pleases, except when he pleases to do right. As a man grows older and wiser, he talks less and says more. If you want to defend Christianity, practice it! ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 16:06 "If I know what love is, it is because of you." "Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing: Come back to me and forgive everything." "Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly, and without expectation - We don't love to be loved; we love to love." But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning." "Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end." "I have loved to the point of madness; That which is called madness, That which to me, Is the only sensible way to love." ShaneIshA 4th Feb 2007 Sun, 16:10 "To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with." "True love begins when nothing is looked for in return." "I love thee, I love but thee With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold And the stars grow old." "Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul." "Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it." Ejstrider 20th Jan 2011 Thu, 02:02 padaan good morning:D |
