White Chocolate Moments

“You must also realize that a life lived in Christ and for Christ is the most amazing experience you could possibly imagine. Knowing that God loves me, and wants to help me in every area of my life, brings indescribable peace. I didn’t know what I was missing all those years.”

“But it’s true, isn’t it? Running to the cross—believing in Christ, repenting—will save me, won’t it?”

“I’d say let yourself be loved by God. Stop fearing His rejection and being alone, and let Him be with you forever.”

“God wants to enter the life of each one of us, but He’ll not shove His way in. If you’re open, you can understand everything God wants from you and for you.”

“How many do I need to say it to today? How many in this room? Run to the cross. No matter who’s gone before you or will come after you, understand your need for a Savior and the great love God is ready to show you through His Son. Be ready for eternity and run to the cross.”

“You’re a good girl,” she started, still in Italian. “I didn’t mean for you to be hurt, but you cannot live your life in idleness. The job is good for you. Maybe Nicky can find something that won’t make you bleed, but work is good.” Grandma made sure Arcineh was listening. “And Jalaina wants you to stay.”

“What’s ‘fearing God’?”
“It’s recognizing who He is so I think and act like Him,”

What does my soul cry out for more than the truth?
What does my spirit thirst for more than holiness?
I long for light from the Word, and sight from the Lord.
I want to be like my Savior and God.

So work in me, and save my soul.
Oh cleanse my heart, and make me whole.
Oh make us one in righteousness.
Pour out Your power and send Your grace.
