I recently read these books, both of which I would recommend, but if you don't have time to add 2 more books to your reading list I included a few of my favorites quotes from each book!
Wisdom – I am the
primary gift that has been given to you for your work. I will show you the way, and I will keep you
on it, but only love will keep you faithful.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but the highest wisdom
is to love Him.
I had wasted people. The whole battle was for people and
yet people were often regarded as the least important. We will fight for truths more than people for
whom they are given. We will fight for
ministries while running rough-shod over the people in them.
If you truly love, you will truly forgive. The harder it is for you to forgive, the
further you are from true love.
We trust people whose hearts and character we know. Many people think that knowing someone’s ways
is knowing them – not so. However, the
heart of man is created by God and that is the place where life flows
from. We can only say that we know
someone when we know their heart. Their
ways and their heart are two different things.
Same is true with our relationship with God.
Intimacy = knowing each other’s
heart without limitation and sharing each other’s heart without reservation
God does not have to create. He chooses to create. There if
you were born and exist it is not just because your mom got pregnant. It
is because God chose to create you. He wanted you to exist and I know for
a fat that He delighted in creating you. He smiled and laughed out loud.
He whistled and sang a special song over you as He placed His love in
your heart and kissed you on the head when you finished. You may have
been conceived in pain and rejection but you were created with joy and delight,
and that is where your identity begins. Make no mistake, He kissed you
and loved you since the very beginning. Your idenity began with creation
not with conception. Conception is human, but creation is completely
divine.
