We should thank God for being with us, not ask Him to be with us (this is always given!).
Henry BlackabyThe essence of sin is a shift from God centeredness to a self-centeredness. The essence of salvation is a denial of self, not an affirming of self.
Henry BlackabyWhen we hear His call and respond accordingly, there will be no limit to what God can and will do through His people. But if we do not even recognize when He is speaking, we are in trouble at the very heart of our relationship to Him.
Henry BlackabyWe don't choose what we will do for God; He invites us to join Him where He wants to involve us.
