Be your genuine self.
Then people will know you as you really are…
Let your life point the way to the soure,
and God himself will welcome.

at his feet
IF
I covet any place on earth but the
dust at the foot of the cross,
then I know nothing of Calvary love.
-Amy Carmichael, If
let’s be a miracle
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
Quiet our hearts for a little while
Things have been spoken
Shouldn’t be said
Rattles around in our hearts and our heads
Let’s feel what we cannot feel
Know what we cannot know
Let’s heal where we couldn’t heal
Oh, it’s a miracle, it’s a miracle
…
Let’s be a miracle
-Sara Groves, Miracle, (story behind the song)
save me from wasting this day-
O Lord, my God, what is Thy will for me today?
What task hast Thou before me?
What opportunity hast Thou placed in my way?
Open mine eyes that I may discover Thy Will!
Save me from wasting this new day!
May I turn it into eternal profit!
-Dr. J. H. Jowett
crush season
“If you cannot express yourself well on each of your beliefs, work and study until you can. But you must be willing to go through God’s winepress where the grapes are crushed. Then the time will come when that very expression will become God’s wine of strength to someone else. Try to state to yourself what you believe to be the absolute truth of God, and you will be allowing God the opportunity to pass it on through you to someone else.”
-Oswald Chambers
rest
O God, we turn to Thee as little children, wearied with the day, turn home.
We are wearied with the conflict of life, its burdens, its sore defeats, its perplexities, and disappointment,
and sometimes we grow weary with what we call its pleasures and its successes.
We turn to Thee for rest.
Open Thine arms, we pray, that we may rest in Thee;
O take us to Thy heart! Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
-Ralph Cushman, Pocket Prayer Book, 1941
