I’ve always loved uplifting quotations, inspiring words that touch my heart and strengthen me from within. However, I’ve never been satisfied with traditional books of quote collections so one day I embarked on a DIY quote search.
As an avid reader (often a hundred or more rare books about personal and spiritual growth a year) I began to underline the many words that deeply moved me. Then I would hand write those quotations in blank journal books. I did this for about thirty years and now I have 36 books overflowing with rare hand copied words that have changed my life.
About 6 years ago I stopped copying quotes in books and instead began to write my own uplifting quotes. Every morning, I wake up with original inspiring thoughts developing in my mind and heart. I get up and post them on social media, one after another until they stop. Then I copy and paste them one at a time on WordPress and pull them together as a blog post. (Occasionally I will still write a blog post the traditional way, but most of the posts that I write now are assembled by piecing together individual sentences and poems that I have written and posted elsewhere the first thing in the morning.)
Here are my most recent morning sentences and poems:
A closed heart is unwilling to be led by God’s Spirit. The more you ignore your conscience the more your life becomes contorted. When God asks us to surrender something on His altar (that we want to hold on to) we too often have an altercation with Him. It’s time for Christians to seek first the kingdom (inner invisible government/Lordship) of God, not to put their hope in human politics.
We live in a time
Where people define
Themselves by their desires
Not by what God requires.
But what I desire
Is not who I am.
I am who “I AM”
Says that I am.
