What words of truth and direction have made a difference in your life? Finding an old journal with short sayings that teach lessons about living a life filled with ‘fruit of the Spirit’ brought joy to my heart and a story to my mind. Rewind as you read these nuggets of knowledge and know that you are loved and looked after by the One who created and cares for All His Children.
“Work is Love made visible” What do others see when our work is made visible but greater than that is what God sees.”

“One great strong unselfish soul in every community could actually redeem the world” — Hubbard
“The biggest thing in the world bigger than the ocean and sky is your HEART! Blessed are the Happiness Makers!
“First, they ignore you, then laugh at you, then fight you … then you win!” — Gandhi
“We are very near greatness. One step and we are safe. Can we not take the leap”! — Emerson
“You mean the world to Someone”!
“Some people make the world more special just by being in it.”
“I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to LOVE the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.
Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now because you wouldn’t be able to live them, and the point is to live everything, live the questions now, perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer”!
“Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the BEST. Forget the mistakes of the past and press onto greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
“To multiply the harbors does not reduce the sea” — Dickens
“I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life … it goes on! — Frost
“Don’t go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” — Emerson
“Only a Believer can receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is another Helper — one who aids!”
He aches for our fellowship. He yearns but doesn’t force Himself on us.
“He wants us to learn how to hear His Voice. One look says a thousand words we understand. My sheep know His voice.” James 4:5
May these bits of knowledge keep you looking to thee while embracing what He has called you to do!
