Thought for the day

"God-thinking believes - God is God, Savior, Master, King, Sovereign, Lord of everything. If you are looking for a relationship with God:

• Where you can manipulate Him to give you only what you want.
• Where you can do as you please, even if it is in direct conflict with God's will.
• Where no commitment is needed.
• Where you are in control.
• Where you say "not thy will, but my will be done."

You are not going to like God-thinking. God-thinking is for those who have come to the place where they can say without a doubt that they have been doing it their way long enough - And found it most inadequate, ineffectual, powerless, impotent, unsuccessful, fruitless and un-fulfilling.

God-thinking is for those who want a better life than that. For those who want:

• God's wisdom
• God's knowledge
• God's understanding
• God's faith
• God's experiences
• God's mind.

Our new mantra should be "more of God and less of me."
