I think about how it just happened “One Day” that Job’s Worst fears came true, and God was the One who put him up for the challenge. But what do studies from Job say? They say that God calls us to seek responsibility whether we are just facing or in the midst of a storm. So if God calls us to ‘carry on’ so to speak, then He has to have our backs - because He is love.
(while reading God of the Whirlwind: Job, Gerald Wheeler)

If you have eyes, you have a canvass.
If you have hearing, you have a map.
If you can smell, you have a marker.
If you have memory, you have transportation.
If you can think, you have a passport.
If you can feel any touch, you have a connection.
If you can taste, you have a culture.
If you can breathe, you have grace.

“No one is on their deathbed wishing for more time at work. Enjoy life.”

“No relationship you have in this life will last forever, but the good things that happen through them in you — even through their sorrows, yes even through their collapses — will.”

If you love someone, don’t be with them because they have it all together.
If you love someone, don’t be with them because you want to change their imperfections.
If you love someone, be with them because you love them in spite of who they are and nothing can take that away from you. Love someone because that little thing they do that no one really cares about really means the world to you.
