• “My soul was filled and overwhelmed with light, and love, and joy in the Holy Ghost, and seemed just ready to go away from the body. I could scarcely refrain from expressing my joy aloud, in the midst of the service. I had in the mean time, an overwhelming sense of the glory of God, as the Great Eternal All, and of the happiness of having my own will entirely subdued to his will. I knew that the foretaste of glory, which I then had in my soul, came from him, that I certainly should go to him, and should, as it were, drop into the Divine Being, and be swallowed up in God.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Shine ’Mid The Darkness By Frances Ridley Havergal

Published May 13, 2018 | By womenofchristianity

Rise and watching daily,
Ask Christ your lamp to trim
With the fresh oil He giveth,
That it might not burn dim.
Yes, rise and shine for Jesus!
Be brave, and bright and true
To the true and loving Savior,
Who gave Himself for you.
Oh, shine for Jesus, dear one,
And henceforth be your way
Bright with the light that shineth
Unto the perfect day!
