Until Forever Quotes

“Did God tell you to do this, Merry? Did he lead you in this direction?” Through the tears, Merry nodded again. “Then you have to believe he has it all under control. If it is his plan that you lose her, then you must face the fact that God knows best. We will pray that that is not in his plan. But, Merry, you know as well as anyone that God’s plans are his own and no man understands his ways. We just have to trust him. It’s hard to let him have control when you think he might change all you’ve ever known. Imagine what Abraham must have felt when God asked him to sacrifice his only son on an altar. At the last second, God stepped in by way of an angel and kept him from being obedient. Obedience is always better than sacrifice. You were obedient in doing what God has told you to do. You may also have to sacrifice, but we don’t know that yet, do we? Trust God, sister. We’ll all be praying for you.”

“God wants our firsts, not our leftovers. We always think of giving our first in our tithes, but he also wants our firsts in other areas of our lives, like our time. I know how busy life gets, and it’s easy to put God on the backburner. It shouldn’t, and doesn’t, have to be that way. I fail in this area too sometimes. I have to continually remind myself that I have to take my time with God to survive my days. Without him I don’t know what I would do. I don’t think I want to know.”

“It means that I love you and you love me until forever, Mama. Just like Jesus. Right, Mama?” “Yes, sweetheart. Until forever I will love you. Always remember that, Ethan—until forever.”
