Blending Some New and
Some Old Quotes
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.”
“For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you.”
As part of my devotional life, I enjoy finding new quotes that seem to echo Biblical quotes from centuries ago. I invite you to ponder the two quotes above. I hope you will find this as helpful as I do.
The first quote today is attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, a lecturer, essayist and philosopher who lived in New England from 1803-1882. Self-awareness and living in the present moment are two wonderful gifts that his quote emphasizes as I read it. The second quote comes from Luke's research into various quotes from Jesus of Nazareth. So often we talk about God's realm beyond this life. I find this teaching a refreshing truth.
May your day be filled with peace amid the storms you face! God is within!
