Thoughts of a woman who knew God because she did what Jesus said.

Chosen

“You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” Jesus has chosen us for himself. We belong to him. Let us be so convinced of this belonging that we allow nothing, however small, to separate us from his love.

Greater Things

We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.

Spoiled

No one spoils us as much as God Himself. See the wonderful gifts he has given us freely? You can all see — if God were to take money for your sight what would happen? Continually we are breathing and living on oxygen we did not pay for.

Faith

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Religion

Men despise religion. – They hate it and are afraid it might be true.

Some thoughts of Blaise Pascal

Impossible

But it is impossible that God should ever be the end, if He is not the beginning. We lift our eyes on high, but lean upon the sand; and the earth will dissolve, and we shall fall while looking at the heavens.

Nature

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

By One Man

The true religion teaches us that by one man all was lost, and the bond broken between God and us, and that by one man the bond is renewed.

No Limit

There is no limit to God’s love. It is without measure, and its depth cannot be sounded. This is shown by his living and dying among us. Now turn the same picture around. There must be no limit to the love that prompts us to give ourselves to God, to be the victim of His unwanted love, that is the love of God that has not been accepted by men.

Tender

God loves us with a tender love. That is all that Jesus came to teach us, the tender love of God. “I have called you by name, you are Mine.”

Remember

Remember that when your heart feels restless, when your heart feels hurt, when your heart feels like breaking – then remember, “I am precious to Him. He loves me. God loves me.” And to prove that love he died on the cross.

Peace

Being God, Jesus became like us in every way except sin. And he proclaimed clearly that he had come to bring good news. That good news was God’s peace to all men of good will. That peace is something which is fundamental to the satisfaction of our most basic desires. It is a peace of the heart.

To Feel

In heaven, everything was beautiful – yet, what attracted Jesus to earth? The Son of God wanted to feel what it meant to be a human being; to be locked up for nine months, so dependent on a mother. That is why we say, “He, being rich, became poor.”

To Show Us

As if it were not enough – as if it were not enough to become man – Jesus died on the cross to show us his great love. He died for you and for me.
