Though I have no one to tag . . .

. . . I'll do this for izhilzha:


1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.



As you unsheathe the sword of the Spirit, his Word, you learn that pride doesn't please God.

"Don't cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself or your importance" (Rom. 12:3 PHILLIPS).

"The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is my only reason for bragging " (Gal. 6:14).

As much as you'd like to welcome this thought of conceit into the greenhouse, you can't.



From Just Like Jesus, by Max Lucado, chapter 9, "The Greenhouse of the Mind: A Pure Heart"


Since I'm so new to LJ, I don't have 5 people to tag.
