FOREWORD

This is a Christian book. But I am aware that some of the content of these pages may seem unorthodox. In case this happens my suggestion is to read again the misunderstood sentences and to compare them with the holy word of the Scripture and to reread them if necessary and so on until those sentences are understood right.

yours, humbly the author

Everyday we must openheartedly accept what God gives us, both good things and bad.

As Christians when we arrive on the Christian front God gives us military biscuits and an assault rifle, but the most of us we throw them away and cry for milk with sugar and toys.

Love is a blind prophet.

Jesus could have given us anything, but he chose to give us something we really need; so he gave us himself.

The Holy Spirit doesn t wear off.′

The end of egocentric suffering is to forget yourself in Jesus forever.

In Christian life the secret is not in knowing what God wants from us, but in doing what God wants from me.

The heart is the engine for prayer, and love for God and for the neighbor is the fuel.

It is more foolishly to trust in yourself than to trust in an enemy.

We shouldn′t give to art a more important place than we should.

Jesus has so much more love to give us than our hearts can contain.

The Bible is the technical booklet of man.

Don′t try to change others; but try to let God change you.

Christian failure I to love only yourself and judge mostly others. Christian victory is to love mostly others and to judge only yourself.

True love′s fate is to be always offered and never requested back.

In a bornagain Christian′s life the holy spirit is like dynamite. Or, at least, it should be.

Page 7: Thoughts for god′s glory

Happiness is born out of joy.Joy is born out of peace.Peace is born out of forgivenessForgiveness is born out of mercy.Mercy is born out of grace.Grace is born out of love.Love is born out of God.

If you are a Christian what you should do is to be a happy being. If you are not a Christian the thing you should do first is to stop pretending.

Christian love is unconditioned. If it is conditioned, it might be love, but it ′s not Christian.

A very important moment in the life of a Christian is when he realizes that he is a slave of Jesus. And that is the moment when he receives a visa to The United States of Freedom.

If you want to be a light for Jesus, you have to burn a little.

THE SECOND MEDITATION

We, Christians, should lay heart siege to the mosques ′ towers and from up there call the call to the ununderstandable love of God defending those hard earned positions with our blood. We, Christians, we should use our hearts to knock to the doors of Israel and say to them the morning words. And as we knock our hearts′ blood should drip on their front doors pleading for them, the blood of human lambs for another Passover. We, Christians, we should put on our sandals on our hearts and write a copy of the gospel of John deep inside in the back of our eyes, write it with our own blood and soul, and go out there - wherever it may be, it doesn ′t matter / and just walk it.

47 Houghts The only one we should try to impress in life is God.

Page 9: Thoughts for god′s glory

The key to happiness is to want that your whole life would make God happy. Then, and only then, you too will be happy.

Love heals.

God the Father loves like a mother.

To live is to give. To truly live is to truly give. To live to the full is to give to the full.

Life is so complex because it was made by an endless Conscience.

Man exists to worship. God exists to be worshipped.

God is the coolest friend you could possibly have.

The reason of everything that happens in our life is becaue God wants us on our knees. That′s the place where we should be and he won′t stop until he′ll see us there.

We′re not a grain of dust. We′re an uncertain number of grains of dust.

Why to be weak when you can be strong in Jesus?

Christian love, joy and peace do not depend on circumstances.

God is something very big, very good and very love.

If you are bornagain and you want to show Jesus just show your heart.

Page 10: Thoughts for god′s glory

The first step in starting to truly love a person is in stopping to imagine that that person is perfect.

God wants you simple.

Pride is weak.

Don′t pray because you have to pray; pray because you are in love with Jesus Christ.

The reason for which God seems so far is because you have looked for him in all of this world and not in your heart.

I don′t think you know me, but I was the one who had put the thorns on Jesus′ head and clothed him in purple, just for fun.Indeed, it′s a wonder we don′t know each other because we both were there when we nailed him on that cross.

We don′t need nothing fancy of much, but that Jesus would become REAL in our lives.

I cannot help you if you don′t help me to help you.

The thing that we are all searching for without knowing what we are searching for is to have Jesus in us. And a few find what they were searching for for their entire live, or, to be more exact, they are found by God.

A Christian without Jesus real in his heart I like a Bible with just blank pages. He can′t bring nothing, he can′t give nothing.A Christian with Jesus real in him is the most beautiful thing on earth.

Page 11: Thoughts for god′s glory

In times of trouble, a true soldier of Christ picks himself off the ground and marches on further.

If you cannot be happy even to have only god for your entire life, then you certainly won′t be happy, not even if you would have the entire world.

God is true life, true love and true truth.

The ones who suffer are the bad. In the life of Christians grief transmutes into joy.

The soul is a hand capable to touch God; the soul is an eye capable to see God.

We are born sinners but when we die we must die innocent. If you don′t follow Jesus how are you going to get innocent before God calls you?

If you lose for God, you don′t lose nothing; if you win for you, you don′t win nothing.

It′ hard to be bored when you read a letter from your beloved. If you love Jesus and want Jesus, it′s impossible to be bored by the Bible.

Page 12: Thoughts for god′s glory

If your love and heart speak to God, god will speak back.

The Christian can be either a consumer of divine services & sermons, or an activist for his denomination, or a light sharer & a love giver in Jesus Christ.

One thing about Christians is that they are willing to suffer for what they have done – good or bad -, and that they are also willing to suffer for what they have not done.

If you want to love God you must first love your neighbor as yourself. If you want to love you neighbor as yourself you must start by loving your enemies as yourself. If you succeed in this, the rest is piece of cake.

The idiom of the heart is the only one which is understood in heaven.

In Man, the sky of Thought must be reflected in the ocean of Love.

Pls fight man to be a big heart and a simple mind.

The only way to be and stay spiritually awake is to love.

The Christian faith isn′t about deed, creeds, nice churches, nice theology books and just being nice; it′s about love, true love, the true love of Christ Jesus in you and me.

The only available Christian reaction in every situation is to love.

Jesus is the only light you could have in you.

Page 13: Thoughts for god′s glory

Love isn′t about beauty of any kind; love is about love.

THE THIRD MEDITATION

49Thoughts

God crucified for my salvation is the only God I can understand.

I love people because they are made by God. I love God because he is the one who made me.

Don′t be preoccupied with your image before men; be preoccupied with your image before God.

Because I reject the pleasures of the world, instead God gives me the delight of the Holy Spirit. And because I take share on the hurts and pain of Jesus Christ, my own pain and hurts seem to almost not hurt me at all.

All I need is Jesus.

Each pain and sorrow you face up in your life is an opportunity to be a beautiful witness for Christ.

THE FOURTH MEDITATION If Thomas Mann had had written about the Jews of his time and their hope what great and still contemporary work he would have made. And if Karl Marx, the detested, instead of preaching the materialist hallucination, had had spoken about the small kibbutzes mixed with simple faith, what great work for man and god he would have made. And if Baruch Spinoza had had discerned reality from dream in philosophy, authentic idea from sleep whisper, and had had tried to conceive the truth, what burning pages he would have left us.

THE FIFTH MEDITATION

From the entire creation the being that suffers the most is man. From all the people of the world the people that suffered the most is the people of God, Israel. The Child of Israel that suffered the most is Yeshua. God suffers. God suffers but he doesn′t show it. God suffers the most because parents suffer the most. But God′s suffering is defeated by the endlessness of his love.

Every true Christian should be a Che for Christ, with his heart loaded like a gun.
