“It is mercy that our lives are not left for us to plan, but that our Father chooses for us; else might we sometimes turn away from our best blessings, and put from us the choicest loveliest gifts of his providence.” – Susannah Spurgeon
O, that I could write with the language of angels..."Yes! O, yes! Hear this, for it is so true."
So true, so convicting. But He does not require me to speak as an angel, He calls me to give my all for His sake, right here, right now, where I am. Even though where I am, maybe especially because where I am, is grievously difficult. How light all our afflictions will be seen to be though, one day, and how heartbreaking now to think that in that day, I will weep for all I could have done but didn't. Forbid it, dearest Lord.
Let us pray for one another, for strength, endurance, yes, these things, but even more for the ceaseless flow of faith and hope and love. Blessed be the man who exhorts the children of God as this man has done.
Thank you, Michelle, for your faithful ministry. I thank God for your work, and pray His blessing upon you. He is faithful.
“Only if divine love burns in your heart can you awaken in a state of readiness, shaking off the paralyzing sleep that will overcome all humanity, believers and nonbelievers alike.” – Basilea Schlink

Verse of the Day
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (NKJV)
