• “I think of the love of God as a great river, pouring through us even as the waters pour through our ravine at floodtime. Nothing can keep this love from pouring through us, except of course our own blocking of the river. Do you sometimes feel that you have got to the end of your love for someone who refuses and repulses you? Such a thought is folly, for one cannot come to the end of what one has not got. We have no store of love at all. We are not jugs, we are riverbeds.” – Amy Carmichael

Joy and Strength 08/18

Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness.
Ps. Ixv. 8, 11.

He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
Ps. xxxiii. (R. V.).

I SING because Thy works are fair,
Thy glory makes me glad.
The garments bright of praise I wear,
For Thou art brightly clad.

Full triumph doth my soul possess.
Because Thy ways are right;
The glory of Thy righteousness
Maketh my dear delight.
Thomas H. Gill.

THE fulness of joy is to behold God in all; for by the same blessed might, wisdom, and love, that He made all things, to the same end our good Lord leadeth it continually, and there to Himself shall bring it, and, when it is time, we shall see it.
Mother Juliana.

God gives us richly all things, to enjoy, while He Himself is His own best gift, and to be enjoyed not in a way of duty, but in the simple, natural realizing aright of what we possess in Him.
John McLeod Campbell
