A Navajo Indian tradition says that your conscience is like a small triangle inside your heart. When you know something is wrong, it turns and pricks the flesh of your heart with one of its corners. But when you harden your heart and ignore your conscience, it keeps turning, wearing down its corners in the effort to get your attention. Eventually the triangle gets so worn down that it becomes smooth and circular, spinning around and around in your heart, but to no use. You can't even feel it anymore.

An age is called Dark, not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it. ~James Albert Michener Jesus had no servants, yet they called him Master...
He had no degree, yet they called him Teacher... He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer... He had no army, yet kings feared him... He won no military battles, yet he conquered the World... He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him... He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today Feel honored to serve such a leader who loves us... A white man said, "Colored people aren't allowed here." The black man turned around and stood and said, "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK. When I grew up, I was BLACK. When I'm sick, I'm BLACK. When I go in the sun I'm BLACK. When I'm cold I'm BLACK. When I die I will be BLACK. But you sir, when you are born, you're PINK. When you grow up, you are WHITE. When you're sick you're GREEN. When you go in the sun, you're RED. When you're cold, you're BLUE. And when you die, you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored. My shine reflects the smiles on the faces of people...[it] beams brighter than any sun. ~ Brantley Gunn Nothing is impossible with God! If you have a passion or a desire to do something for God, don't say, "It's impossible," and close the door with doubt or fear. God can do it, and He may want to do it through you! Don't underestimate Him. He can far exceed your expectations. ~ Leslie Reavely I don't need easy, I just need possible. ~Bethany Hamilton (Soul Surfer) The vision I have for the rest of my life is to live every day completely surrendered to God. I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds the future. ~Brittany Lewin We can make a difference in the lives of slaves. It doesn't really matter how young we are. It doesn't really matter if we have physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. It doesn't matter the color of our skin or where we're from. Anybody can make a difference and be a voice for the voiceless. ~Zach Hunter. Even though I'm just a young lady--a small voice in a big world--I believe I can do great things for God's glory. I am just a humble servant--geared up to face any challenge my Master sets before me. ~Jazzy Dytes |
