Okay, so you may not remember me, I’ve been silent so long. I’m Robin from Write Thinking. Nice to meet you. {{grin}}
I’m on a marathon writing gig this week, but I hope to be more regular in my blog posts. I have an excellent quote to share with you today that I wrote down during yesterday’s sermon. I think it’s so good that it should hold you until I post again tomorrow:
It isn’t the ship in the water that sinks it. It’s the water in the ship.
It isn’t the Christian in the world that sinks him. It’s the world in the Christian.
When the pastor, who was preaching on making wise decisions for our lives, said those words, I scribbled them down as fast as I could. They are so simple and oh-so-true.
Stay afloat, my friends. Be in the world but not of it. Keep the Spirit, not the world, inside you.
In the grip of His grace,
Robin
I love it when my pastor says something I am scrambling to write down like that. Usually some little gem I want to add into my prayers…or to remember for future writing ideas because it captures so perfectly what I’ve been already thinking about.
I love to think of the Holy Spirit as the “wind in our sails” too… 😉 I always like the analogy of the ship. It’s the Lord who keeps us afloat, guides us with his light, moors us when he wants to reveal something,anchors us in him, etc.
Glad to see you back! If not for your newsletter email, I might’ve thought you’d “given up the post…” 😉
Welcome back, stranger! You were missed.
Glad to see you back online again! I’ve been keeping you in my prayers.
I feel better now… 🙂
Missed you : >
Great quote, Robin. Thanks for the encouragement. Blessings to you for your writing!
Thanks for the encouragement, Robin. Blessings!
Ooops! I thought it didn’t take the first one. Sorry! LOL!
Hi Robin- Glad you are back, I was beginning to wonder if you were indeed okay. I was getting ready to check with Tammy A. about you. Love your blog!
Hugs,
Suzi
Awesome quote, Robin! That’s a keeper.
