Such a wonderful read!!

This testimony has blown me apart.

May I live for Him alone not for the things of this world._

____     

_--In the interview by *Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren,_

Rick said:
--People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

--And I respond:
In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

--One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

--I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity.
This is the warm-up act --the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

--We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

--Life is a series of problems:
Either you are in one now, OR you're just coming out of one, OR you're getting ready to go into another one.

--The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

--We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in the prophet (saw) likeness.

--No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.

--And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

--You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:

--If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain. But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

--We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

--Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism?  am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

--When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.

God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.

--That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

--Happy moments, THANK GOD.
--Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
--Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
--Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
--Every moment, PRAISE GOD.

In the endless adventure of existence, God and man are comrades.

God is our one unfailing companion. He will never leave us.

We may try to run away from him.

But He will continue to follow us as our own shadow.

There is a meaning of mercy in everything that happens to us.

For God is All-love. He is All-wisdom.

He is too loving to punish, too wise to make a mistake.

Whatever happens in the Divine Providence happens for our own good.

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me;

my eye and God’s eye are one eye,

one seeing, one knowing,

one love.”

—Meister Eckhart

 

 

 

“Our inner guidance comes to us through our feelings and body wisdom first -

not through intellectual understanding.

The intellect works best in service to our intuition,

our inner guidance, soul, God or higher power -

whichever term we choose

for the spiritual energy that animates life.”

—Christiane Northrup

 

Do not do tomorrow what you can do today.
If you feel the need to forgive, forgive today.
If you feel the need to risk, risk today.
If you feel the need to apologise, apologise today.
If you feel the need to love someone, love them today.
If you feel the need to create something, create something today.
If you do this there will be no conflict within, you will grow in Spirit
because you will be your true authentic Self - living at full potential.
Live for today, not for tomorrow.”

—Wallace Huey

 

 

“We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking,

only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.”

—Charles C. West

 

“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery…

we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.

The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions

such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion,

while love and compassion

and a sense of universal responsibility

are the sources of peace and happiness.”

—Dalai Lama
