post-its

Post-its is such a great invention. I've used it for reminders, write letters, kill bugs, stick on people, etc. The first journal I got was from my sister and in it she stuck post-its and wrote little encouragements through my journey in my journal. I wish I kept those post-its. But someone else did a similar thing too in a journal she gave me a couple years ago. I remembered to keep these. On them are quotes and verses.

Post-it #1:

"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created." -Revelations 4:11

a sweet reminder

See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we would be called children of God and such we are.

1 John 3:1

simply to love

"One of the lessons Jim felt that he his "renaissance" experience had taught him was expressed in a later letter to me:

'One of my renaissance experiences was to get among kids who were on a different spiritual level than my own, and enjoy fellowship with them. I found a very subtle snare in so doing. I sought their fellowship in order that I might minister to them, 'be a help,' you know, to the 'weaker' ones. What a rebuke came when I sensed my real motive - that I might minister. Love hacks right at this, for she refused to parade herself. I learned to recognize no 'spiritual planes,' but simply to love, purely, in every group. Trying to 'be a help' even has a smell of good works in it, for it is not pure. Our motive is only to be - do nothing, know nothing, act nothing - just to be a sinful bit of flesh, born of a Father's love.'"
