"A thousand times I've failed,
Still Your mercy remains.
And should I stumble again,
Still I'm caught in Your Grace.
My heart and my soul,
I give you control,
Consume me from the inside out...
To love You from the inside out."
"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weaknesses." 2 Corinthians 11:30
"For some reason, people accept Jesus as Lord before they accept Him as Saviour. It is easier to comprehend His power than His mercy. We'll celebrate the empty tomb long before we'll kneel at the cross. We, like Thomas, would die for Christ before we'd let Christ die for us." In the Grip of Grace
"Mercy understood is holiness desired." In the Grip of Grace
"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2

"The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other." Luke 18:11-14
"When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities YOU DID NOT BUILD, houses filled with all kinds of good things YOU DID NOT PROVIDE, wells YOU DID NOT DIG, and vineyards and olive groves YOU DID NOT PLANT- when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery." Deuteronomy 6:10-12
