BITS & PIECES

Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it. [A.W. Tozer]
We have short memories in magnifying God’s grace. Every blessing that God confers upon us perishes through our carelessness, if we are not prompt and active in giving thanks. [John Calvin]
We ought to give thanks for all fortune; if it is good, because it is good, if bad because it works in us patience, humility, and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. [C.S. Lewis]
See that you do not forget what you were before, lest you take for granted the grace and mercy you received from God and forget to express your gratitude each day. [Martin Luther]
Planning for tomorrow is time well spent, worrying about tomorrow is time wasted.
Willing and eager obedience is the hallmark of someone who has truly come to faith in Jesus Christ. They obey, not because they want to earn God’s favor, but because they feel delighted already to have received it.
Bethlehem and Golgotha, the Manger and the Cross, the birth and the death, must always be seen together. [J. Sidlow Baxter]
The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity--hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory--because at the Father’s will Jesus Christ became poor, and was born in a stable so that 30 years later He might hang on a cross. [J.I. Packer]
Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor. [C.H. Spurgeon]
