Here are my thoughts and highlights from II Corinthians as I continue my journey through the Bible:

  • God helps us and prepares us to help others. "He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us."
  • God wants me to fulfill my promises.
  • We become brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.
  • We get to be a part of what God’s doing.
  • God knows what to do, and he doesn’t leave our side.
  • "Cheerfully pleasing God is the main thing, and that’s what we aim to do, regardless of our conditions."
  • "It’s no light thing to know that we’ll all one day stand in that place of Judgment. That’s why we work urgently with everyone we meet to get them ready to face God."
  • Once we commit our lives to Christ, we get a fresh start. It’s like we are newly created.
  • "Don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us."
  • "I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way… Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!"
  • My heart regulates my hands.
  • "God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything."
  • God wants us to build others up rather than tearing people down.
  • "Keep your spirits up. Think in harmony. Be agreeable."
