Photos of my art and quotes about Gods love.
“Fear is to begin with the end in mind. There is no end. Life is
eternal. Live life knowing that the end was your past, and the future is
only full of beautiful beginnings through an eternity built around
God’s love.”
“The good part about having a mental disorder is having a valid reason
for all the stupid things we do because of a damaged prefrontal cortex.
However, the best part is seeing someone completely sane do the exact
same things, without a valid excuse. This is the great equalizer of God
and his little gift for all us crazy people to enjoy.”
“Before the foundations of the world, He loved you.
Before the fall
of Eden, He loved you. Before He sent His Son splitting through the
cosmos to this world, He loved you. Before He died upon the cross, He
loved you. When He rose again, He loved you. And He's coming back again
because He loves you. When you took your first breath, He loved you.
When you messed up bad, He loved you. When you made good grades, He
loved you. When you won and when you lost, He loved you.”
“Silence, shame, guilt, or any other emotional torment simply cannot rob us of God's love, of his plan for us.”
“The words 'good' and 'love' have become so trivialized in our
culture--not that our definitions were so accurate to begin with--that,
in times of distress or disappointment, we struggle to believe that God
is either.”
Those who correct others should watch for the Holy Spirit to go ahead of
them and touch a person's heart. Learn to imitate Him who reproves
gently. . . .
When you become outraged over a person's fault, it
is generally not "righteous indignation" but your own impatient
personality expressing itself. Here is the imperfect pointing a finger
at the imperfect. The more you selfishly love yourself, the more
critical you will be. Self-love cannot forgive the self- love it
discovers in others. Nothing is so offensive to a haughty, conceited
heart as the sight of another one.
God's love, however, is full
of consideration, patience, and tenderness. It leads people out of their
weakness and sin one step at a time.”
“This man was a fool because he failed to realize his dependence on
God... this man-centered foolishness is still alive today. In fact, it
has gotten to the point today that some are even saying that God is
dead. The thing that bothers me about it is that they didn't give me
full information, because at least I would have wanted to attend God's
funeral. And today I want to ask, who was the coroner that pronounced
Him dead? I want to raise a question, how long had He been sick? I want
to know whether He had a heart attack or died of chronic cancer. These
questions haven't been answered for me, and I'm going on believing and
knowing that God is alive. You see, as long as love is around, God is
alive. As long as justice is around, God is alive. There are certain
conceptions of God that needed to die, but not God. You see, God is the
supreme noun of life; He's not an adjective. He is the supreme subject
of life; He's not a verb. He's the supreme independent clause; He's not a
dependent clause. Everything else is dependent on Him, but He is
dependent on nothing.”
“A worshiper perceives that he is near to God because he is awake all
night worshiping God. But after worship, your prayers are for health,
long life, wealth, and for the damsels and slaves of the Paradise.
Ponder! Did you ever pray to God, ‘O’ God, I desire from Thee nothing
but Thee’?”
“Love is everything we can have because God is everything we have. God is love.”
“Why do you give up on yourself, When God will never ever give up on you?”
“Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our
love for God. […] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing
our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's
awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel
(1 Kings 18:26-29).”
“If God absolutely decrees that particular persons
shall be saved and others damned, apart from any cooperation of human
freedom, then God cannot in any sense intend that all shall be saved, as
1 Timothy 4:10 declares. The promise of glory is conditional on grace
being received by faith active in love.”
So my brothers and sisters, those who have faith that Gods grace and love will win out in the end for each and everyone of us, I give thanks and say peace within until then. For those whose faith is in doubt or non existent, I pray to the almighty creative power of love that when it knocks tenderly at the door of your heart and mind, then you will become open and bid it into you. Blessings upon you all from your bro Peter.
