What would YOU like for God to do in YOUR life?

In the book, Hope --Endings are sad. Beginnings are scary, so find comfort in knowing you can have ‘hope’ in the middle of any crisis, you can walk on a journey that may be familiar to you or someone you know and watch how God does answer prayers, even in the midst of hurt, and can allow you to see ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ or a rainbow after the rain.

You can also watch God work through careers that, as some would say, are vehicles that allow God to use people for His glory. And, isn’t that what we’re ‘all’ supposed to be living for? If we concentrate on pleasing God, instead of everyone else, life becomes more peaceful and less confusing.

Enjoy this journey........

Page 26 - Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Page xii - I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Page x - Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly ever notice when others do it wrong.
Page x - If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.
Page 39 - He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepares! a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:...
Page 62 - The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you- will be surprised.
Page x - When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.
Page xi - In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at His reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see Him in His completeness, face to face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now.
Page 93 - It is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.
Page 34 - I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
