A few thoughts from Seneca


  • For change to take place, we must be honest.
  • God planted Jesus in the earth so we could clearly see the fruit He is desiring.
  • We don't want to despise what God tells us about ourselves.  Believe it!
  • Being cut back brings us closer to Jesus, makes us aware of our great need of Him and produces greater fruitfulness.
  • If we ask God to do things to and for us so we could glorify Him, He will never refuse us.
  • God has invested too much in us to quit now.
  • It's alright to look in the rearview mirror, but don't keep your eye there.
  • Little things unaddressed could consume us.
  • Truth will withstand any test.
  • It's a secure feeling to know that God is choosing for us.
  • We could be in the kingdom and not really have the spirit of the kingdom.
  • We want love to be the motive for our obedience.
  • If we get to know the Lord as we should, we will wait for Him (in prayer).  If we value His answer, we will wait.
  • It's easier to keep out of trouble than to get out of trouble.
  • Carry this thought: "I am representing the eternal God."
  • We're not promised tomorrow, so we want to be doers today.
  • When we bring joy to God, we can enter into that joy.
  • Lingering at the door is not a happy place to be.
  • The household of God is full of people who care about our soul.
  • We can support each other in the conflict even when our individual struggles are different.
  • Most problems (in the kingdom) don't exit because of evil but because of misunderstanding.
  • Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die.
  • If we didn't number our days, we might not apply our heart to wisdom.
