When we lose everything except Him, that is more than enough.

I am gossiping because I want people to feel bad about others so I can feel good about myself.

God never promised your heavy problem to be lighter but he will make you strong enough to go through.

Gossip is like throwing a firebrand at someone without letting him know.

Teach me

Dear God,

Oh Lord, teach me to love you

more than anything in this world,

more than money,

more than sexual desire,

more than stuff that I have gained,

more than things that soon will pass away.

Forgive me that a lot of times

I've failed to love you as my ultimate treasure,

but you keep showing up in my life

to show your love for me.

Teach me O Lord, so I can live this life

according to your will not my own will.

Teach me to embrace the gospel,

let not the worldliness consume my heart and my soul.

O how marvelous are your deeds O Lord,

and how gracious are your disciplines.

Teach me again O Lord to love you,

more and more...

Amen.
