"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"~ C.S. Lewis ~
This quote reminds me of the scripture below...one that I have unfortunately had to learn the hard way...
Luk 20:18 "Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. "
I thought I wanted to comment on this quote when I linked to it but let it suffice to say that this is the scripture that comes to mind upon reading it....and I type it with a wry smile on my face...
I do know...
It is truly a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God....
Lord let me turn quickly to you....yield swiftly to your desires, laying down my own in exchange for yours...let me never forget that You alone are Sovereign...You know exactly what You are doing and You will accomplish your Purpose. Help me to fall readily on You.

{sigh} AMEN.... : )
That would be a wonderful thought to begin every day with.
LOVE that CS Lewis quote. Hmm...how often has God had to say that to me? TOO often!
What a battle it is to yield to Him. I am just too human/sinful much of the time. I feel like the Israelites, wandering, getting hard hearted, then finally coming back to trusting Him, the Ever Faithful One. Oh, how I need His mercy
I believe this week's quote brought many of us back into God alignment...what an awesome thing.
good verse!
Love that quote...thanks for sharing it.
YES and AMEN!! Great post! I want to keep falling into the arms of the living God too!
Amen! what more can I possibly say?
Thank you for the CWO reminder. And for the reminder to yield to His will. Isn't that a constant struggle! It's nice to have friends to remind us! : )
C.S. Lewis is a hero in our household.jt
reminds me of amos chapter 4 - especially the last two verses ... tough to digest sometimes, isn't it :)
so beautiful... amen!
Isn't it! And isn't it glorious when you finally let go!!! Beautiful...thanks for the reminder...I've been having some stuggles, and this is very encouraging! (I am fighting tears right now, lol)
