"Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay, The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire, Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God." Amy CarmichaelCan we follow the Savior far, who have no wound or scar? -Amy Carmichael"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving." -Amy Carmichael There are just too many things to do. My natural response is to fret and fear. Both are forbidden: Fret not. Fear not. That tells me what not to do. What, then, should I do?"I will run the course set out in Thy commandments, for they gladden my heart." (Psalms 119:32 NEB)There will be both time and strength today to run that course, for it is always possible to do the will of God. The course He sets for us in His commandments is not an obstacle course, but one carefully planned to suit our qualifications—that is, not too rigorous for our limitations, not too lenient for our strengths.The plan of God for me, for this one day, is meant not to trouble but to gladden my heart. Christ’s yoke, according to His own promise, is not hard but easy—if we bear it together with Him and if we bear it as Christ bore it, in meekness and lowliness of heart."We must run with resolution the race for which we are entered, our eyes fixed on Jesus, on Whom faith depends from start to finish." (Hebrews 12:2 NEB) -Elisabeth Elliott "Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.""Let no man carry you beyond the bounds God hath set for you, nor make you believe he hath found a plainer or more certain way to heaven than Christ hath given us." -Edward Stillingfleet
