Repost of a quote from the Holy Experience Blog

“But the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this.

I did not live in the moment enough.

This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night.

I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed.

I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.”

~Anna Quindlen

Quote about Prayer...

"Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one’s heart,

its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend.

Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you;

tell Him your joys, that He may sober them;

tell Him your longings, that He may purify them;

tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you to conquer them;

talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them;

show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them;

lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability.

Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others,

how vanity tempts you to be insincere,

how pride disguises you to yourself and others.
If you thus pour out all your weakness, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed.

People who have no secrets from each other never want for subject of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think.

Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God."

~Francois Fenelon, quoted in The Tale of the Tardy Oxcart by Charles R. Swindoll

Quote from Rochunga Pudaite

"Eighty-five percent of all Bibles printed today are in English

for the nine percent of all the world who read Engish.

Eighty percent of the world's people have never owned a Bible

while Americans have an average of four in every household."

-Rochunga Pudaite

Quote from Dr. K.P. Yohannan

"There is such an emphasis on church buildings in the United States that we sometimes forget that the Church is the people-not the place where the people meet."
-Dr. K.P. Yohannan, founder and director of Gospel for Asia

A Quote From A Christian

"I have been a Christian for over fifty years, but I have never heard God's voice so clearly as in these days. When the world is at peace, not very many people distinctly seek God. Only at such times as these of persecution and disorder by the hands of Satan do believers awaken in faith."

-Elder Park a Christian in Korea around 1939

How sad...only in great persecution will Christians really live their faith and hear God. Why not now? Why not everyday with or without great persecution? Seek God today...don't wait!
