Great statements

I am currently reading a book called, "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day." It's a great and quick read...unless your me. Anyway, I was reading out of this book today and noticed a few statements that caught my attention... read them and let them penetrate your spirit and ask yourself what God is trying to say...

"At the beginning of my spiritual journey, I would have considered myself a Christ follower, but if the truth be told, it was less about me following Christ and more about Christ following me."

"I think there are two kinds of people in the world: creators and criticizers. There are people who get out of the boat and walk on the water. And there are people who sit in the boat and criticize water walkers.

Here is what I think: Sinking is better than sitting.

I'd rather get wet than have a numb gluteus maximus. When everything is said and done, I thinkour greatest regrets will be the God-ordained risks we didn't take. We won't regret sinking. We will regret sitting.

In the words of German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,

'Hell begins the day God grants you the visions to see all that you could have done, should have done and would have done, but did not do."
