NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 434

 

  • ·       "Those who enter the kingdom are not thereby rendered immune to the accidents of time or to the ordinary catastrophes of nature. Believing the gospel will not prevent getting into trouble, but it will insure that you shall be unafraid when trouble does overtake you."

    ·       “In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can. ” — William Barclay

    ·       "The peace of Jesus is, then, the peace and assurance of a son who fully believes that his career for time and eternity is safely and wholly in the care and keeping of an all-wise, all-loving, and all-powerful spirit Father. And this is, indeed, a peace which passes the understanding of mortal mind, but which can be enjoyed to the full by the believing human heart."

    ·       "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Norman MacEwan

    ·       “Our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.” — Bill Gates

    ·       "What Jesus is now about to do, submit to death on the cross, he does of his own free will. In foretelling this experience, he said: 'The Father loves and sustains me because I am willing to lay down my life. But I will take it up again. No one takes my life away from me—I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up. I have received such a commandment from my Father.' ”

    ·       Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realized joy could be. - Friedrich W. Nietzsche
