My Attitude

ATTITUDE

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.”


- Charles Swindoll

Accept, Submit, Follow

"Whatever the particular call is,
the particular sacrifice God asks you to make,
the particular cross He wishes you to embrace,
whatever the particular path He wants you to tread,

will you rise up, and say in your heart,
 'Yes, Lord, I accept it; I submit, I yield, I pledge myself to walk in that path, and to follow that Voice,
and to trust Thee with the consequences'?

Oh! but you say,
'I don't know what He will want next.'

No, we none of us know that,
but we know we shall be safe in His hands."

~Catherine Booth

Where is God?

"We look for visions from heaven, for earthquakes and thunders of God's power... and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us. If we will do the duty that lies nearest, we shall see Him."

"Nós olhamos para as visões de céu, para terremotos e trovõs do poder de Deus ... e nós nunca sonhamos que o tempo todo de Deus está nas coisas comuns e as pessoas ao nosso redor. Se vamos fazer o dever que está mais próxima verremos a Deus."

Oswald Chambers

Assurance

In those times I can't seem to find God,
I rest in the assurance that He knows how to find me.
--Neva Coyle

Naqueles tempos eu não consigo encontrar a Deus,
Eu decanso na certeza de que Ele sabe como me encontrar.
-- Neva Coyle

Attitude

"What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity?
Our attitude toward it.
Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity."

-J. Sidlow Baxter

YOUR FACE

"If you live close to God

And His infinite grace,

You don't have to tell;

It shows on your face."

Relying On God

Relying on God has to start all over everyday as if nothing has yet been done.
