90 Quotes by Priscilla Shirer

Most of our days are filled with routine duties required for life to continue with any sort of sanity. But if we take the time look closely, we might discover that God is using these normal activities to prepare us for future tasks, each duty pointing to His blessing in our lives.

I’m sitting on the edge of my seat, chin nestled in my hands, to see what God is going to do. With my children. With my husband. With me – a regular, everyday woman choosing to surrender to a life interrupted.

Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other – the way God reached out and found us, and covenanted with us, and loved us, and despite who we are, despite what we’re like, still loves us. This image, more than almost anything, is exactly what the enemy wants to denigrate.

God’s plan for you is to move you into a position of impact by infusing you with truth and employing you in prayer. You don’t need to be a genius to do it.

You just need to bring your honest, transparent, available – and, let’s just say it – your fed-up, over-it, stepped-on-your-last-nerve self, and be ready to become fervently relentless. All in His name.

I want my life to radiate what happens when God has a person’s heart at His full control, when every event or circumstance is simply another avenue to know Him better and show forth His glory.

It is a privilege for us to look at circumstances and discern God’s involvement in them. To recognize them as more than mere happenstance but rather God’s own detailed design and plan. To see that He is allowing us to cooperate with Him in bringing life from death, growth from loss, testimony from tragedy.

According to Scripture, the number-one purpose of marriage – more than even the unique, time-honored partnership it creates between a man and woman, more than even the conceiving and raising of children, more than any Prince Charming fairy tale in any little girl’s head – is how it represents the mystery of the gospel in active, living form.

God’s real desire, in addition to displaying His glory, is to claim your heart and the hearts of those you love.
