"There's no such thing as a perfect Christian. We are all in this world to learn about our Christian faith, and to live our faith in the best way possible. It is a life spanning struggle to search for the truth. And an even more daunting task to be able to live our lives for God. Christianity is not a religion for the ...perfect human being. It is for those who were humbled, for those who felt weakness, and for those who cry out for an inner peace." - Jasper Lloyd Tan, Thoughts And Notions

Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become."

thank you, i'm in some tough times lately and I ask for God's grace and mercy to help me become stronger, and be more patient and understanding in dealing with those who think ill of others.

na memorize mo na ata books ni brennan sis :)
ReplyDeletedi naman. most of his books i read. but these are significant quotes. you can actually google quotes from brennan manning and just copy, paste. we all live by grace. God isn't through with all of us yet. no has arrived. no one. we will only arrive until heaven. so enjoy what God has made available in life to enjoy. while others can still sin against us, be aware, too, of how we can also sin against others. ang mahalaga we're drawn closer to the Cross, closer to God. a broken and contrite heart God will not despise... have a blessed weekend, kapatid!
