Me without Christ:
-Lost and broken
-Drowning in insecurities
-Walking a broken road leading to no where
Me with Christ:
-Rescued and pieced together with the love of Christ
-Filled with guidance, hope, and a love that does not falter.
-Walking the path to Heaven with the Lord guiding me.
If I am the captain of my own ship, the sea will rage and the winds will blow. My ship will be tossed around by the storm, it will sink and I will drown. But if I choose God as the captain of my ship, the sea will rage, the winds will blow and Icebergs will block the way, but the mighty hand of God will steer the ship carefully through it all, I may even be able to hear Jesus say: “Peace. Be still,” and I will safely reach my destination.
If I am the pilot of my own airplane, storms will come and turbulence will buffet the airplane. Lightning will hit my wing, and I will crash and burn. But if I choose God as my pilot, the storms will come and the turbulence will buffet my airplane. Lightning may hit my wing, and even knock off an engine, but the mighty hand of God will keep me in the air, and I will safely reach my destination.
If I drive my own car, I will drive over potholes, blow out a tire and spin off the road into a ditch. But if I choose God as my driver, there will be potholes in the road, and other cars may even try to run my car off the road, but the mighty hand of God will steer carefully through it all, and I will safely reach my destination.
If I walk my own path, rocks and tree roots will be in my way. I will trip and fall, be bitten by a snake and die. But if I choose to follow God, rocks and tree roots will be in my way, I will trip and fall and wild animals will try to eat me for lunch, but the mighty hand of God will guide me carefully through it all, and will help me up when I fall, and will call off the wild animals, and I will safely reach my destination.
If I think I can control my own destiny, life will happen and I will run out of control with no direction. But if I choose to let God control my destiny, His hand will carefully lead and guide me through all my trials and troubles, and His purpose for my life will be fulfilled.
God, I put You in charge of my life today. Steer me safely through all the storms, trials and troubles that will come, and fulfill Your perfect purpose in me. I give you complete control, and I promise I won’t take it back. I’m much safer in your hands than I could ever be if I try to make it through life on my own. Have your perfect way in me, now and forever. This I pray in the precious Name of Jesus. Amen.
There are certain things in life God has called us to be, being silent is not one of them.
Matthew 28:10 (via ilovebeinginlovewithhim)
Millions are convinced of their salvation because one time they prayed the sinner's prayer. However, they remain unchanged by the Gospel.
Paul Washer (via youcameforthelameimthelamest)
By Unknown
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.All day long I had no time to…
