"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. The Anchor of my soul still holds!"

Radical Obedience = Radical Reward

I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ~Genesis 15:1b

"No good thing will He withhold from us when our hearts and minds have purposed to obey Him, no matter the cost. He is our shield from the enemy and our exceeding great Reward! What security and what a precious gift!"

"Every time Satan tries to crush me, by the grace of God I want to be a thorn in his foot!"

"Things" are not sacred, people are. God paid a high price for the human soul."

"I love my life! I have chronic pain every day. At home it gets kinda lonely and money is tight. But, I wouldn't trade my life for another. Why? Because I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am a child of God. I am His and He is mine. I know that He is here with me  and I have everything I need. He has promised that one day there will be no more pain and that I will be with Him forever. What more could I ask for! " 

 

"I love being a princess...no, not a make-believe princess and not a princess who actually lives in a castle, but a princess who is a co-heir with "the Prince". Because of Him I own the earth and I own the moon, the sun, and the stars. And get this - I own every galaxy that we can see through modern technology and beyond. My mind can scarcely take it in."

"I love the Lord. He has been with me during the darkest nights and the loneliest days. He has comforted my soul when I thought comfort could not be found. There has never been a time that I needed Him that He was too busy or had better things to do even if all I did was cry. I’ve lied, stolen, cheated, and have been angry with Him, but when I come to myself and realize I have hurt the One who loves me more than any other I bow my head and say, “I’m sorry Father. Please forgive me." He then holds out his nail-scarred hand and says, “Come daughter. I still love you -- all is forgiven. It’s under My blood and remembered no more."

"Anger separates us from God. When you are truly connected to a "Higher Power" (God, who IS love)....you are acting on a level that invites kindness and love. Anger doesn't really fit into that picture. Anger, obviously is going to be present in all of us at one time or another, but to be filled with anger, that would leave no room for love and forgiveness. When love (God) truly exists inside of us, it works at dissipating anger....it works at finding "resolve" and "peace".....and "peace" is what God brings to us. HE is the source. Without Him we are left with our own desires that can bring destruction and pain. Anger is NOT His plan for our lives. 

"If only people knew how much God cared for their souls and the life that He has in store for them, here and beyond the grave. He paid a high price for our souls. He made the greatest sacrifice and gave the greatest gift to mankind because He loved us while we were yet sinners. Through His Word I came to realize what a vile, wretched, and selfish sinner I truly was. I love Him because even though I don't deserve to be in His holy presence, He longed for that and made a way. 

"When my daughter went away it was the most devastating thing I have ever experienced in my lifetime. The lack of communication was more than I could bear and I wept for days on end and still do when I think of it, but God has shown me through this trial the very thing He goes through when I forget Him and go about life as if He isn't there.

I spent years away from the Lord. I hurt Him...and how much more, considering He loves me more than I love my own children. During the week I long to hear from my kids (who are grown and live away). When they don't call or text it hurts and I long for that sweet fellowship. How much more does it hurt our Heavenly Father when we are too busy to acknowledge He is there...but, even then, His love is not diminished....and He lovingly, patiently waits...to hear us call His name. What a love! What a Father!"

"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." ~Lamentations 3:22 (KJV)

"This is one of my favorite verses! What I thought was my righteous acts yesterday was the equivalent of filthy rags to God, but by His mercy He did not destroy me -- instead giving me a clean slate and His unmerited favor today!! I can't say it enough.....What a Savior!" 

"Taking my hands off the steering wheel allows me to sit back and enjoy the ride -- enjoying the beauty I might have missed along the route home!!"

"What you are afraid to speak before men, you should be afraid to think before God." "Have communion with few, be intimate with ONE, deal justly with all, speak evil of none." "Our weakness and inabilities break not the bond of our duties." Other     ~Unknown "The Bible is the lesson-book, the believer is the scholar, the blessed Spirit is the teacher, and experimental religion is the education." ~James Smith, 1858  "May you find Him to be -- the peace for every struggle, the supply for every need, the solution for every problem, the escape for every temptation, the release for every burden, the balm for every pain, the comfort for every sorrow, the victory for every battle, the wisdom for every decision, the strength for every endeavor, the hope for every tomorrow, the song for every day." ~Unknown  "People who criticize others have yet to see their own spiritual condition.

Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE........Getting back up is LIVING!" ~Unknown  "I've carried a baby within my body. I've slept with a baby on my chest. I have kissed boo boos, mended broken hearts, been puked on, peed on, and spent sleepless nights in a rocking chair. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body isn't magazine perfect, but when I look into the mirror...I see a mom, and there is no greater honor or blessing." ~Unknown  "Dear God, I come to you as humble as I know how. I confess my sins, those known and unknown. Lord, you know I am not perfect and fall short every day of my life, but I want to take time out to say thank you for your mercy. Thank you for my health, my family, my friends, the roof over my head, food on my table, and everything I have.  GOD has blessed me!" ~Unknown  "I have been damaged. We all have to some degree. I am not living the life that I dreamed about when I was a kid. However, the damage that I have suffered has made the contents of my heart so much sweeter, so much more compassionate, so much more in pursuit of Jesus. I have been looked down upon and judged by many who have seen my label missing and slapped on their own." "I’ve wanted to say, “Don’t judge too quickly. My damage has not defined me…but, it is refining me.” I may sometimes be at the bottom of the life’s bin, but Jesus paid as high a price for those of us at the bottom as He did for those that are proudly displayed on the top shelf." ~Unknown Copyright Information  Copyright © 2009 The Princess Warrior Ministries.
