Loving God
“The most important thing is not the work I can do for God. The most important thing is to make God the most important thing." (Phil Vischer)
“God wants us to seek Him more than anything else, even more than we seek answers to prayer. When we come to God in prayer, sometimes our hearts are so full of what we want that we leave God out. Our minds become consumed with the gift rather than the giver." (Charles Stanley)
“How often do we act first and then pray? We ask God to bless what we’re doing already, rather than seeking Him first for direction. Perhaps examining how many times we pray before we act reveals the level of our trust in God.” (NIV Men's Devotional Bible)
"Every person has the same vocation. Every person is created in the image and likeness of God and has the vocation to live out that image and likeness. Each is called to"be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48). Every person also has a different vocation. God has an inimitable, exclusive vocation for every person. Within each singular vocation, each person is called in a different way to love God fully and her neighbor as herself, uniquely.” (Albert S. Rossi)
"Love God, serve God; everything is in that." (St. Clare of Assisi)
