A precious gift of mine recently let me borrow the book The Life You've Always Wanted by John Ortberg. It has been life changing for me! It is an amazing book that I recommend to any ordinary sinner seeking to be transformed by God's grace.
Here are some lil' sneak peak teasers that are going to make you want to run out and buy this book immediately! :)
~I need to do whatever enables me to catch the wind of the Spirit in my sails.... example: sleep
~Turn aside from busyness and pay attention
~Joy is the serious business of heaven - C.S. Lewis
~We cannot microwave maturity
~Solitude is necessary
~I will always be a failure at prayer
~Ruthlessly eliminate hurry
~Live life interruptible
~Faith is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience
~God speaks to us all the time; we just fail to listen
~Even though testing is painful, it is an act of love
~It is not another person's compliment/approval that makes us feel good; rather, it is our belief that there is validity to the compliment.
~Stop being Messiah and become Lindsey
I know... I know...aren't those some amazing, simple, yet profound things... there is much much more in the book! I am going to have to buy it too, because I am only borrowing it. :)
It is worth the money, that is for sure!
Enjoy
