Food For Thought

I have recently started reading a book which was highly recommended to me. It is Chasing Daylight by Erwin McManus. Although I have only read 2 chapters so far, it is full of amazing insight and thought provoking messages.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

"We have defined holiness through what we separate ourselves from rather than what we give ourselves to."

"While God leaves us with many choices to make, when He has spoken, the one right choice it to obey."

"There is a tragic reality in that many times the very things God blesses us with become obstacles to seizing divine moments."

"The practicality of the life of faith is that you begin making wiser choices."

"The challenges you are willing to face will rise in proportion to the character you are willing to develop."

"When you are madly in love with God, you can do whatever you want."

McManus is just full of such passion and puts together his ideas so wonderfully. It speaks straight to my heart. I am really looking forward to the rest of this book!
