If you read my last post, you will know I have a long way to go when it comes to being Christlike (I was in my feisty, law student mode), but I wanted to share the following quote, which really inspired me and poured some peaceful ointment on my agitation from today’s news and politics. Sometimes we need to step away from the politics, the criminal law casebooks, the media (is it just me or are people who call themselves journalists on TV being commentators absolutely stupid?–No offense to them, but really. Have they seen their own shows?)–We need to look at what really matters.
This quote is like a breath of lavender.
“We must have more faith. Let us begin to believe unto salvation. Let us come to God in faith, fully assured that as we surrender all to Him, He will make us Christlike in character. We must tell this to all over and over again[…]Let us honor God by showing firm faith and unswerving trust. Let us remember that He is not glorified by the manifestation of a fretful, unhappy spirit. The Lord cares for flowers. He gives them beauty and fragrance. Will He not much more give us the fragrance of a cheerful disposition?[…]Let us now, just now, place ourselves where He can give us His Holy Spirit. Then we can give to the world a revelation of what true religion does for men and women.” Bible Training School, Apr. 1, 1905, Ellen G. White
