When I treat people like they are doing their best, even when they are not, they do even better. When I treat people like they don’t really care, even when they don’t, they care more.
“...we are alive in the epic era of Consecration—the complete consecration of God in love for the world he created. It is the period between the comings of Jesus—the age of the Holy Spirit.“ -@jdwalt https://t.co/AnM2AuMh4X
The fiery furnaces are there by God’s direct permission. It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances; we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them. Thanks again Oswald Chambers.
