Quotes from Louie Giglio

we become what we worship (Psalm 115:8). When we set our gaze on the Almighty, we change into the likeness of the One who has captivated our souls. And we reflect His glory.

God was very creative with plants and their seeds. But there's one kind of seed He wants you to spread: the seed of kindness. Being kind means more than just smiling and being nice. It takes courage to be kind to that kid everybody else picks on or that person who's different from you. And it takes strength to be kind when you're tired or when others aren't so kind to you. But when you plant a seed of kindness, it grows . . . and spreads!

Lord, plant a seed of kindness in my heart and let it grow so big that I just have to share it with everyone I meet.

Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy." —MATTHEW 6:9 NLT

Even though I am surrounded by enemies, God has prepared a table for me, and I will sit down with Him.

Do not do wrong to a person to pay him back for doing wrong to you. Or do not insult someone to pay him back for insulting you. But ask God to bless that person. Do this, because you yourselves were called to receive a blessing. —1 PETER 3:9 ICB

Jesus came to this earth to complete a beautiful work. He took hell for us on the cross so that our relationship with God could be restored. Jesus rose from the grave so we could shake off the prospect of a doomed life and walk in that same power that brought him to life again.

Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3—5)

Day after day I sat with the truth of Psalm 23, letting it burrow its way into my soul. From 1 Peter 5:8, I knew that a major tactic of the Devil was to prowl around my life. So maybe I couldn't stop the Devil from prowling around my table, but in Jesus' name I definitely did have the choice whether I allowed the Enemy to sit down.

Dear friends, you are like visitors and strangers in this world. —1 PETER 2:11 ICB

Sabbath happens anywhere and everywhere we let go of the controls and lay the cares of our lives at His feet.

Lord, thank You for preparing a heavenly home for me. Help me to make this world a better place—one that looks a little more like heaven.
