Give Willingly

"I like to give willingly; when I give willingly, I enjoy it so much I give again." ~ Anonymous

A Commission

"If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honour, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?" ~ David Livingstone

Tightrope Between Heaven and Earth

‎"We pilgrims walk the tightrope between earth and heaven, feeling trapped in time, yet with eternity beating in our hearts. Our unsatisfied sense of exile is not to be solved or fixed while here on earth. Our pain and longings make sure we will never be content, but that’s good: it is to our benefit that we do not grow comfortable in a world destined for decay." ` Joni Eareckson Tada

Saintly Madness

‎"I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness, and in the coming one, give you a hallowed, dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth, consuming you with a passion that is called by the cultured citizen of Christendom 'fanaticism', but known to God as that saintly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude cross - and then glory." ~ Jim Elliot

A New Year

2010

"A new year – a book of blank pages waiting to be filled. It is easy to fall prey to doubts and questions about unknown days before me. But maybe God’s will for my life is far greater than knowing what path my life will take, what career choice I will make or what job change will occur. Maybe God’s will is simply for me to serve Him and love Him and share His love with others. So simple, yet so complete. There is no need for lofty resolutions, no need for fear – I will begin my days with prayer; I will listen, and God and I will walk together. He will help me through the rest, one day at a time."
