Something to Ponder.
           

I read this piece in a church's centennial celebration magazine. Since I found the statements valuable,  I thought of sharing it through my blog post.

1.Only God can turn a Mess into a Message; A Test into a Testimony, a Trial into a Triumph, and a        Victim into a Victory.

2. Don't ask God to guide your steps, if you are not willing to move your feet.

3. When you are tempted to lose patience with someone, think how patient God has been with you all      the time.

4. Life is an echo. What you send out comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get.
    What you see in others -exists in you.

5. Sometimes God lets you hit rock bottom so that you will discover that He is the rock at the bottom.

6.The Bible is meant to be the bread for daily use, not a cake for special occasion.

7. When you feel like you are drowning in life, take comfort that your Lifeguard walked on water.

8  Jesus died for you in public, so don't live for him in private.

9. If you kneel before God, you can stand before anyone or anything.

10. Be yourself. No matter what other people think of you, God made you this way for a reason.
      Besides, an original is always worth more than a copy.

11. Faith is like the W-Fi. It is invisible, but it has the power to connect you to what you need.

12. Don't be a part-time Christian when God is not a part-time Savior.

                            The Power of Silence

I. In silence, I can hear the small voice-the soft whisper of God.

2. Silence makes me to hear the pain pangs of those who are hurting.

3 Silence makes me to realize how much  un-needed words I speak out and how little I listen when         others speak.

4. Silence creates a space for me to think and contemplate.

5  Silence distracts the chattering around me and make me focus on the awesomeness of the                      surrounding and the mystery of life.

6. Silence instills humility and gratitude towards God.

7  Silence enables me to rethink and make better choices.

8 Silence dispels confrontation and stifle anger outbursts.

9 Silence has a catalytic effect for prayer and meditation.

10. Silence makes the space sacred and conducive for creativity.
