Thoughts at 3:00 in the Morning
If you are unwilling to repent of your sins, you can not presume to have the forgiveness of God. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Love, Truth, and Judgment
"If you never know truth then you never know love." - The Black Eyed Peas
"True love does not exist in the absence of judgment, but in the presence of it." - Michael Ramsden
(Which is basically the same thing)

Will Heaven Be Boring?
"Since God is infinite, He is also infinitely interesting."
- Robert Godfrey (answering a question on whether Heaven will be boring)
"You look at the gamut of feelings that people have to encounters with God in the Bible - some people are driven to their knees, some repent in sack cloth and ashes, some people just weep endlessly, some people are paralyzed or you see Balshazzar with his knees knocking - you see all these different human emotional responses to people encountering God - I've never seen anywhere in the Bible where God appears (and) somebody is bored."
- R.C. Sproul (same question)

Quotables - C.S. Lewis
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
- C.S. Lewis

Quotables

Expectations Be Gone
"More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ"
Lord, I want to lose my expectations of what I think my life is supposed to be like so that I can gain more of Christ. Change my life in any way that you want to - just let me have more of Jesus.
