Nõtruse vägi

Some kinds of deprivation can increase motivation. Yale sociologist James Baron has compiled evidence that productivity increases when people who are disadvantaged get more than they expected, in what he calls a gratitude factor.

... Vägi saab nõtruses täie võimuse ...
- 2 Korintlastele 12:9 -

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Lootus

Meie elu on nagu vesi. Vesi liigub, see on ebakindel, sa ei saa sellele loota. Ankur läheb läbi ebakindla vee ja kinnitub mõne kalju või maa külge. Meil on elutormides vaja ankrut, midagi, mis haarab kinni ja hoiab kindlalt. Lootus on hinge ankur - kindel ootus, et sulle sünnib midagi head.
-- Terry Law - Iga uskliku võitlus ---

Elu on nagu kalapüük sellel tiigil. Me kipume triivima ja selleks, et stabiilselt paigal püsida, vajame ankrut. Heebrea kirja autor ütleb meile, et meie hinge ankruks on kindel lootus muutumatu Jumala peale.
--- Päevasõna 2.8.2004 ---



... oleks vägev julgustus meil, kes oleme usaldanud kinni haarata eelolevast lootusest, mis meile on otsegu hinge ankur ...
- Heebrealastele 6:18-19 -

So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.
- Hebrews 6:18-19 (New Living Translation) -

Underutilised

The most underutilised resource we have today is the good intentions and creativity of citizens, and their willingness to make a difference.
