Powerful One-liners...

Have you ever heard a simple sentence with so few words but its impact is profound on your life? Has a simple scripture, song lyric or simple conversation ever made you think how did I miss this?? I have received a few of these this week and want to share them with you :) I hope you are just as inspired as I am to listen, read and expect more from the simpler things in life. God is everywhere!

1 - "I’M PRAYING THERE WILL BE A BREAKTHROUGH, CAUSE I CAN’T BE THE ONE TO SAVE YOU,
GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED" a song lyric from Jesus Loves You by Stellar Kart.

How true this statement rings in my ears about past friendships. I have poured my heart and soul into other people's lives yet there has to be a time when I step aside and say "I have done all I can do and I have said all I can say". God is the only one who can breakthrough in his time not mine and maybe not by using me. I can't save the entire world just plant seeds.

2 - "Now that I've found You everything around me is changing, Nothing will be the same, Now that You've saved me" a song lyric from Only One by Hillsong.

It's amazing how 2 1/2 years after meeting God he still shows up in an awesome way each day. For 2 months now I have been battling my past and present which will ultimately change my future. God has stretched me beyond what I thought I could handle, he proved strong in my weakness. Everything really has changed once I gave him complete control of my life.

3 - "He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?" Romans 8:32 Amplified Bible

During lunch the other day God put it on my heart to read Romans 8. I read it slowly three times and it really spoke to me. I decided that night to read it again before bed and verse 32 stood out so boldly. I started to cry from my soul, it felt like my heart broke as I read this and realized God gave so much for us to show us he loves us, he cares, he gives us hope and he gave us Jesus. This one line offers so much knowledge into who God is and how much he loves us.

It really makes you think!
