imitation

imitation may be the grandest form of adulation, but I beg of you, only imitate me as I follow after Christ.

resurrect those around you

we’re surrounded by hurting, forlorn and lifeless people. aspire to be so infused with love and integrity that you resurrect those around you simply by being.

stronger than our yesterday

trials present new opportunities for us to confront and be stronger than our yesterday.

joy in your toil

seek joy in your toil, exertion and labor. it is a gift from God.

adundance

abundance only has meaning when given to God’s purpose, else it is simply excess and accumulation that will eventually pass from lazy hands to thieves’ hands.

otherwise useless sound

and with this voice, all that I desire is that my words be heard, their meaning comprehended and my heart understood – otherwise, all that leaves me is useless sound.

brick by brick

brick by brick with careful consideration and patience…

near impossible

It’s near impossible to condemn or hate someone who you pray for.
