Encouraging Quotes

Do you ever find short little quotes - nuggets, if you will - that just hit the spot? I've been running into a lot of them lately and thought I'd share a couple of them here.

If you look at the world, you'll be distressed.
If you look within, you'll be depressed.
But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest.

- Corrie ten Boom

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed."

- God (in Isaiah 55 vv.10-13)

Hola Jonathan. Apenas descubrí tu blog. Me alegra mucho saber que has visitado el mio. Seguramente te habrá parecido un poco exótico. De cualquier modo me da un gusto enorme que por lo menos de esta manera podamos seguir un poco en contacto. Estaré al pendiente of what you post in the future.

Cuídate mucho.
