When God Met a Girl Quotes

“If you love Christ and find yourself in desperate circumstances, stop for a moment and pray. Ask him what it is he’s trying to do with your desperation. He might be trying to make you grow, as he did in our case. He might be using those desperate circumstances so you’ll drop to your knees in prayer and call out, “Lord, help me!” (Matt. 15:25 NIV). It’s sad but true: We do some of our best praying and worshipping during desperate times. Maybe Jesus is using those desperate circumstances to get you to talk to him. He misses your company, and he’ll take advantage of anything to get you back into fellowship with him. Sometimes Jesus uses your desperation to reach others.”

“It’s a forgone conclusion that we’ll have grief on this earth. It’s also a forgone conclusion that Jesus will be with us throughout that grief. When he sees us in our pain he has compassion on us. He won’t necessarily raise our children from the dead, but he will look for opportunities to surprise us with his love and grace by easing our burdens, by carrying it for us.”

But what he is asking is don’t let those things slam us off the path of following him. He wants us to slow down and see them for what they really are.”

“The wonderful thing is Jesus delivers us from a great, big, fat lie of the world we live in: that what we do is what matters. Jesus says who you do it for is what matters. If you accept him into your heart and live for him, it doesn’t matter what you do. You did it for him, and it now matters.”

“There have been miracles in your life too. You just have to open your eyes to see them. Remember, Jesus performed many miracles, and yet many didn’t believe. They didn’t want to see, so they were blind. But you want to see, so open your eyes. Let the miracles of everyday life that surround you nurture that seed of faith within you—the faith that God is on his throne, that he cares deeply for you, and no matter what happens, he’s got a plan, and you’re part of”

“But Jesus didn’t do that, did he? Instead, he decided to slam the culture that treated women like property. He said, “Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” He made it clear right then that women are just as important to the kingdom of God as men. They are to learn about God just as men are, and, yes, they can ask questions. This had serious ramifications”

“The people who love us will tell us the truth even when it’s going to hurt, because we can’t get any better if nobody tells us the truth.”
