quote

You see, I don’t consider that my life began until I met Christ and I won’t consider it well lived unless I use it to one end: to know Christ and to make Him known. He is the best of me; my purity, my joy, my peace, my strength, my compassion. When I’ve been afraid, He’s been my protector. When I’ve been ashamed, He’s been the lifter of my head. When I’ve felt alone, He’s laid beside me. When all the safe things or safe people in my life have crumbled, He’s been my Rock. When I’ve not known what to do, His word has been my instructor. When I’ve been in the desert places and unable to ‘feel’ Him or understand what the heck He’s doing with me, it’s been His Holy Spirit that has worked in me "to will and act according to His purpose" (Phil 2:13) and choose to praise Him; thank Him, bless Him, obey Him, seek Him, love Him and live for Him.
