“God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness,
or love as separate investments of His grace.
He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.”
Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life
(St. Peter’s Holy Spirit window / The Vatican, Rome, Italy / Julie Cook / 2013)
“The fullness of wisdom is fear of the Lord, she is present with the faithful in the womb (Sirach 1:14).
Fear of the Lord does not mean to be afraid of God.
It means to stand in awe and wonder before the greatness of the Lord.
When we recognize that God is God and we are creatures,
we develop a healthy sense of humility.
We acknowledge our need for wisdom and grace, which are both gifts of the Holy Spirit.”
Rev. Jude Winkler, p. 9

Sweet! 🙂
good direction on a Monday morning…I needed a signpost this week and figured others could use one as well 😉
I mean I fear the Lord’s power… I surely fear the fact that if I blaspheme the Holy Spirit I won’t stand a chance of getting into heaven. But the one thing I do know about God, is that His love is forever!
