The Five Things God Will Never Do →
spiritualinspiration:
1. He will never let you go. No matter how far you wander, no matter how distracted the path you take, God will never let you go. He will always call you back to Him, no matter what it takes. He will reclaim you; He will seek you out and call you personally, by name: He is your loving God. 2. He will never turn His back on you. When you need him, when you call, He will...
I remember how funny I thought it was that my score for the test that would determine if I got my scholarship was exactly the cuttoff for the past year. And every time I checked the internet, everyone would be saying that the cutoff for that year would be one point higher. What chances did I have of actually getting it?
All I knew was that I was completely powerless at that point. It was all up...

I think I’m going to take another tumblr break. See you in a week, tumblr (maybe more, I don’t know…).

There is no big mystery to prayer. It’s a matter of talking, and then listening; telling God what you’re thinking, and then seeking His thoughts; sharing what you need, and then asking Him what’s best for you.
Prayer is the language of your relationship with God. The better you know Him, the…

It was so awesome to be able to worship tonight next to people from other churches that I don’t even know. We’re the church, together. It’s so great to remember that throughout the world all believers are connected, as one.
“The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind- just as You, Father, are in me and I in You, so they might be one heart and mind with...

I was walking across campus, back from putting up a flyer for our church event (which for some reason took me forever to finally do) and on my way to a Unicef meeting and in passing I heard a girl talking to her friends. I have no idea what the conversation was about. All I heard was, “I’m doing it for Jesus.”
And those have been the words stuck in my head all day. All the...

“My soul finds rest in God alone. My salvation comes only from Him.”
– Psalm 62:1
What do you do when your family doesn’t support your passion? When they literally try to scare you away from it? I’ve tried talking it out with them, I’ve tried showing them Bible verses, but it all seems to come down to nothing.
I know they’re scared for me, and I understand it. Part of me is scared too, but more of me trusts God. And now all that’s left is to pray...

The Hidden Talent
“The servant given one thousand said, ‘Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the best and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I might disappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money. Here it is, safe and sound down to the last cent.’
The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live!...
All this “74th Hunger Games” stuff makes me feel uneasy. Like I’m actually in the Capitol about to see kids kill each other off. I think I take books way too seriously…
