Beth Moore, Breaking Free
"Let God bring you forth.... Stronger than ever because in your weakness God was strong.... God wants to enlarge [my] borders and teach me to possess land [I] never knew existed" (228).
"... wholeness in Christ is that state of being when every hole has been filled by Christ" (230).
"Am I ministering out of my need or out of the overflow of my own relationship with God? Do [I] crave the affirmation of those [I] serve, and do they help [me] feel important? Or do [I] serve because Jesus has so filled [my heart] that [I] must find a place to pour the overflow?"
Obedience is the key to peace (232).
"... the life of a disciple requires a 'long obedience in the same direction'" (233).
Isaiah 55:12
"For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the LORD Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
