Jacquelyn K. Heasley (JKH) has a gift of putting into one line what it takes others an entire article to say. Sometimes a handful of words planted in the heart changes a life. If one catches you, write it on a sticky note, place it where you can frequently see it and let it be planted in your being.


Plant a word in the mind, and you will reap an act. —JKH


Plant the act and you will reap a habit.
Plant a habit and you will reap a character.
Plant a character and you will reap a nature.
Plant a nature and you will reap a destiny. —JKH


Fear comes from an Adamic nature — Faith comes from a Christ nature. —JKH


Use your ministry to build people, not people to build your ministry. —JKH


Your giving should not be to get, but to say “I have.” —JKH


A man will act out what he believes himself to be. —JKH


God never takes away anything that He doesn’t replace with Himself. —JKH


The man, full of himself, can never proclaim the Christ who emptied Himself. —JKH


Mercy allows you to continue on in sin; grace empowers you to overcome it. —JKH


It’s one thing not to sin—it’s another not to want to! —JKH


Abel’s blood cries out “vengeance”—Jesus’ blood cries out “mercy.” —JKH


Your inheritance isn’t Heaven, but He lives there. —JKH


The Resurrection is a person—not an event. —JKH


If you will be moved by men’s criticism, you will be moved by their praise—be dead to both! —JKH


If you teach men that God is the source of their pleasure and sin is the source of their pain, they will run to God and away from sin. —JKH


In Christ you don’t do good to earn favor—you do good because of your new nature. —JKH
