I'm inspired, through words and pictures. This blog is a compilation of both. All of the stuff I post is not my personal work.
I also really like Jesus, traveling, photography, tea, laughter, thrifting, spontaneity, anything zebra print, coffee shops ... and my personal blog/365 day project which you can find here: fromtheworldwithlove.blogspot.com
If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.
We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves.
The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we allow our minds to dwell upon. It is our thoughts that the first movements toward the renovation of the heart occur. Thoughts are the place where we can and must begin to change.
I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
I don’t think this counts as my weekly submission…buutttt I really wanted to do this when I realized how well I knew it today. Random, I know. Hope you enjoy!
