It is not the disappearance of our anxieties that makes us most fully human; it is that we call out to the Lord on good days and bad days. —Ed Welch https://www.instagram.com/p/B7D-lqAHDN6/?igshid=12holxm2xcz1e

God not only blots our sins from His record, He also remembers them no more. This expression means He no longer holds them against us. The blotting out of our transgressions is a legal act. The remembering them no more is a relational act. —Jerry Bridges https://www.instagram.com/p/B63Je-kH-Vp/?igshid=1htvzcfxnz82s

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It’s a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God.

If nothing else will do to sever me from my sins, Lord, send me such sore and trying calamities as shall awake me from earthly slumbers.

As long as the eyes of our faith are fixed upon our troubles we will not find joy. Until our minds consciously move the Lord from our peripheral vision into the narrow corridor of our focus, joy will elude us. —Paul Tautges https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tAj9vH2GM/?igshid=rwq34xy2ltev
