Need Suggestions

My question has nothing to do with revival or anything close to it, so I hope no one thinks it irrelevant. But I do have a question and would to hear your ideas...

I want to paste some vinyl 'wall-words' on top of our garage/carport door opening. It has 10" lap-siding - gable end roof - so the words can be 5 1/2 inches tall, several rows of words if so desired. The garage is 50 feet from the street - we are located on a corner lot by a three way stop. I would like the message to focus on God, not be testimonial like "I trust in the LORD."

Anyhow, my husband and I are at a loss to know what phrase to use...we want it to be inspirational. We know what we want but are at a loss to know how to word it..anyone have any ideas?

FYI, I am using our DIL's Cricut machine to cut the letters from self-adhesive vinyl. After cutting they are removed and positioned.

Thanks for your consideration..

Since it will be mostly drivers who read the message, how about something challenging like, "at the end of the road, you meet God."

In Christ,

I found a website with an abundance of inspirational Christian quotes. I hope you can find something you like on it. There are oodles of subjects to choose from.

Many of the quotes are long, but you might find some that you can use a partial quote from. For example...

Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us.

Andrew Murray

You could shorten it to - "Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature."

or

"Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature to win and serve and save us."

WOW! There is a ton of stuff on there that one can use. The long ones intimidate a bit at first, but keep reading, the short ones are there. Ahhh, such a pleasure just to read through them.

Just happened to recall - there is a thread here on SI full of quotes - and I never thought of that. SIGH.

Wonder what would happen if I were to cover a blank wall with just quotes - give an interior decorator the hiccups? Have to think about that - maybe that would be overdoing it...will see...

Hi ginnyrose,

Great idea!

I knew a missionary who supported his family from a seashell shop. Outside of his house was a sign that said, "WISE MEN STILL SEEK JESUS." I know that it is more of a Christmas phrase, but this missionary kept it up year round. He didn't even have a sign for the seashell shop. He used to get quite a few people who stopped by because they saw the sign.

I always liked the passage from Jeremiah 29:13 -- "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." It might be a little longer than what you are looking (or have room) for though.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

"What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" - Mark 8:36

"I love to live on the brink of eternity." - David Brainerd
(although you could shorten it to "Live on the brink of Eternity")

"If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." - John 7:37

"Before Abraham was, I AM." - John 8:58

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." - Psalm 19:14

I will try and remember to note others when they come to mind. Also, you can find even more here...
