ENVY!

“Envious people cannot bear to see their neighbors – especially their equals or those they live with -  get something more or better than themselves.” – Basilea Schlink

“And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” –

Ecclesiastes 4:4

“FAITH KEEPS THE PERSON WHO KEEPS THE FAITH.”

Last Saturday, 4th of February, I received The Gospel according to John at the marketplace.

What an encouragement!

“and said to Moses, ‘The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done.’” -

Exodus 36:5

FORGET THE PAST

We are not strangers to experiences that are painful. We are also familiar with failures of  the past and heartaches of the past.

I am reading about all those things in two quotes I found in the weekly publication called COFFEE NEWS. I take also note of the fact that we don’t know the authors of the two quotes.

Here they are:

“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – Anonymous

“The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.” – Unknown

“LASS DIE VERGANGENHEIT RUHEN”,  (Forget the past)  was the title of a little booklet I remember reading in Germany when I became a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

WERNER HEUKELBACH was the author of the little booklet.  

“I count him braver  who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.” – Aristotle

THE FIGHT IS ON!

Have you heard about William Booth?

William Booth was the founder of THE SALVATION ARMY. He was a FIGHTER. Listen to what he says:

“While women weep as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without God, I’ll fight – I’ll fight to the very end!” – William Booth (Salvation army Founder)

Have you heard about CT Studd?

CT Studd was the founder of WEC INTERNATIONAL. (www.wecnz.org) He was also  a fighter. Listen to what he says:
