You may find yourself in a place of brokenness at the moment, and even though God has delivered you before, you can't imagine how He will do it again as you situation is very different. Take your eyes off the past and fix them on Christ whose mercies are new every morning!

We can do no wrong.

Hi Joy, and all,

Did something similar over in Deeper Fellowship, ran for about 140 pages (I think) here's a link -http://www.christianforums.com/t7553819/

Brother Jeshu was going through some rough mental trials, so his posts are a bit on the wild side sometimes, but many are clearly good too !

Think most of ours are personally received, instead quotes of others...but to God Be The Glory either way, for if any have anything truly good to say, we know it ultimately came from Him anyway !

Hope you find some you can benefit by and enjoy.

P.S. Keep receiving new ones, while sometimes recycling old ones, so will likely continue posting more in this thread too, if that's okay with you ?

Thanks Be to God !

I've had this posted on my window at work for a few years. I have to re-read my windows every now and then to remind me of how GREAT my God is!

Peace is Jesus asleep in a boat in the middle of a storm. Peace is a calm trust in God in the midst of irritation rather than in it's absence. Convinced of God's control over every detail of our lives, peace is the presence of faith even when the world around us screams that there is no reason to believe.
