Billy Graham reminds us that, “God has given us two hands — one to receive with and the other to give with.” So, as we remember God’s generosity this Harvest time, may we respond with thankful hearts and open hands — ready to bless others as He has so richly blessed us.
When you are feeling tired, inadequate and about to give you – then look in the mirror and read this out loud – ‘If God can use a broken, weak vessel to accomplish His purposes, He can surely use you. Say yes to His call and watch Him work through your life’ – D L Moody.
Not sure what you can do for your neighbour this week? Well Billy Graham has something to say about that. “True love is an act of the will – a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves.” Now go ahead and put that advice into practice.
“There comes a moment when we all must realise that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.” Billy Graham.
Do you sometimes simply run out of steam? Do you sometimes feel you simply can’t go on? Then make a cup of tea, sit down, spend some time with the Lord and let His spirit revitalise you.
“Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.” – Charles Spurgeon
When things go wrong or you are simply having a bad day, think on this: “God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.” — Charles Spurgeon
Some of you may not know that C. T. Studd (1860–1931) was a famous English cricketer who gave up wealth and fame to become a missionary in China, India, and Africa. He is best known for his passionate faith and inspirational quotes. This week I hope this quote will inspire you to do great things for our great God.
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”
I’ve had a difficult week which included a power cut that lasted for 19 hours, a car window that remained completely down despite my efforts and a garage roller door that refused to go up or down. So perhaps this week’ quote is aimed at me and anyone else whose week hasn’t gone to plan – “Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins.” — Eric Liddell
As we continue with the lovely summer weather, spend a few moments reflecting on this quote by Billy Graham: “The heavens are telling the glory of God. When I look at the sunrise, I see His glory. When I look at the sunset, I see His glory.” God’s creation is truly amazing isn’t it – simply enjoy it!
Whatever anyone else tells you Billy Graham summed it up very clearly when he said, “Jesus Christ is not just one of many ways to God; He is the only way. He is the truth, and He is the life.” Let this reminder energise you life this week.
