More Quotes From Elyse M. Fitzpatrick

And we neglect the glorious gospel when we fail to recognize his preeminence. How frequently we forget that everything is for him and about him. We forget that he is to be first, in our honor and in our worship. Whenever the gospel slips from our conscious thought, our religion becomes all about our performance, and then we think everything that happens or will ever happen isa bout us. When I forget the incarnation, sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension, I quickly believe that I'm supposed to be the unrivaled supreme, and matchless one. It's at this point that I'm particularly in need of an intravenous dose of gospel truth. He is preeminent.

God is too great to be glorified only through the lives of His victorious children. He is glorified by our suffering and even by our sin. His sustaining strength is glorified when we walk through the furnace of affliction.
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
We need to remember how what Christ has already done transforms who we are right now -- not later, once we get it together but right now in all the messes we've made.

I thought parenting was going to reveal my strengths, never realizing that God had ordained it to reveal my weaknesses.

God never encourages self-reliance.

I did my best parenting by prayer. I began to speak less to the kids and more to God. It was actually quite relaxing.
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
I admit that at times my prayer for my children is nothing more than vocalized unbelief aimed at God.
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Let us be so taken up with the knowledge of God's goodness and the desire to fellowship with Him that our emotions are warmed and our outer man reflects great love. Although we must not seek emotional experiences for their own sake, we must not shun them merely because others misuse them or ignore God's instructions on worship.
