( Original source unknown) Life is not measured by the number of breathes you take but by the number of moments that take your breath away

(Stowell) Every person is built for  a relationship with God, giving us an intrinsic longing for Him

Everyone worships someone or something

(Oswald Chambers)  The one great passion of the saint is that the life of the Lord Jesus might be manifested in his mortal flesh

(Selected words from the hymn " Finally home" written by Don Wyrtzen)
Just think of stepping on shore
and finding it heaven!
Of touching a hand and finding it God's!
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial!
Of waking up in glory and finding it home!

(Joe Stowell) defines lust as legitimate longings that are mismanaged, that are allowed to go beyond the boundaries God has set

(Stowell) Are you longing for God or giving lip service to God?

(Stowell) Calls Gal 5:19-21  "the catalog of corruption"

(Stowell) Only when we succeed in the redemptive restructuring of our passions will we know true fulfillment in our longing for God. Having our deep thirst for God satisfied in Him should be the goal of our lives
