Willard Wednesday

Blessing

"Blessing is the projection of good into the life of another, as cursing is the projection of evil. It is putting forth your will for the good of another person. You bless someone when you will their good under the invocation of God."

-Dallas Willard

our part

"God does not crash your party.  He waits for you to wake up.  If I am too absorbed in my own affairs, if I am too impressed with my own religion, too intent on bringing my truth as I understand to the world, I will not seek him, and I will not seek him appropriately.  I will do it halfheartedly.  The promise is never halfhearted seeking.  You will recall, he says, 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13)  When we are thinking about stepping into the kingdom and living there, it has to be something we want more than anything else."

-Dallas Willard, Living in Christ's Presence

Willard Wednesday

"We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true.” 

― Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart
