A vision we give to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.
Larry CrabbOther forms of relating to God that have unique value in connecting us to Him include contemplative prayer and centering prayer.
Larry CrabbThereโs never a moment in all our lives, from the day we trusted Christ till the day we see Him, when God is not longing to bless us. At every moment, in every circumstance, God is doing us good. He never stops. It gives Him too much pleasure. God is not waiting to bless us after our troubles end. He is blessing us right now, in and through those troubles. At this exact moment, He is giving us what He thinks is good.
Larry CrabbThe root of all our personal and emotional difficulties is a lack of togetherness... I therefore believe that the surest route to overcoming problems and becoming the people we were meant to be is reconnecting with God and with our community.
