in gaining i lose.
yet when i reconsider,
the grotesquely beautiful truth remains.
I am His and in HIM aolne
am i me with reference to the cross.
In the suffering of my Savior, i am saved,
That's all there is to know.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
January 30, 2010QUOTES lifted from Dr. Paul Brand and Philip Yancey’s book entitled “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”
1) Sometimes when uncertain of a voice from its very loudness, we catch the missing syllable in the echo. In God and Nature we have Voice and Echo. Henry Drummond
2) To be a member is tohave neither life, being, nor movement, except through the spirit of the body, and for the body. Blaise Pascal
3) We often think that when we have completed our study on one, we know all about two, because “two is one and one.” We forget that we have still to make a study of “and.” Sir Arthur Eddington
4) Whereas American mothers preserve, often in bronze, their children’s first shoes–celebrating freedoma nd independence–a Japanese mother carefully preserves a small part of her child’s umbilical chord–celebrating dependence and loyalty. Stephen Franklin
5) We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions runas causes and return to us as results. Herman Merville
