“God had an exact plan in mind when He created us. He knew what He wanted from us the moment He put us all upon the earth. For the sake of all humanity, we much learn how this plan works best. Our lives must show others how to keep the treasured home we have been given away from the control of evil-minded men who wish to manipulate, change and destroy all that God created and called “good.”” (Quote from Exodus To Freedom by Gail Landgraf – Page 19)
“You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold.” – (Sting – from his song lyrics in Fields of Gold)
“These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one’s self. To mind one’s own business. Not to want to manage other people’s affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one’s dignity. To choose always the hardest.”
― (Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living)
“You can have no greater sign of confirmed pride than when you think you are humble enough.” – (William Law)
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. – (Psalm 90:12)
