DALLAS WILLARD QUOTES

  1. "The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity."
  2. "Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you."
  3. "We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true."
  4. "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life."
  5. "Grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning."
  6. "Spiritual people are not those who engage in certain spiritual practices; they are those who draw their life from a conversational relationship with God."
  7. "The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow or require our minds to dwell upon."
  8. "The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become."
  9. "A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do."
  10. "The Kingdom of God is not only a vision we aim for but a reality we live within."

                  These quotes reflect Willard's emphasis on inner transformation, the importance of character, and the necessity of a deep relationship with God. They serve as a source of inspiration for those seeking to deepen their spiritual journey and understanding.

  Truly Believe 10.2024           “Why are we here?”   God made us for a relationship with Himself, a relationship meant to carry us into eternity. Romans 3:23 tells us ”All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”   This creates a problem.      Our sins separate us from God so there needs to be a way to forgive our sins and wipe our slate clean.

Meditate and pray, making choices about my actions beforehand to lessen the harshness of my autism. Look to other Christian women as examples. Always be aware of being under His gentle, loving wing. He is our Father and He truly loves us. Never forget, He made us for the purpose of having a relationship with Him.
