• “I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation–a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false colouring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God’s designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.” – Madame Guyon

April 26 – Daily Strength for Daily Needs

_If we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it_.–ROM. viii. 25.
_One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day_.–2 PETER iii. 8.

Lord! who Thy thousand years dost wait To work the thousandth part Of Thy vast plan, for us create With zeal a patient heart.
J. H. NEWMAN.
I believe that if we could only see beforehand what it is that our heavenly Father means us to be,–the soul beauty and perfection and glory, the glorious and lovely spiritual body that this soul is to dwell in through all eternity,–if we could have a glimpse of this, we should not grudge all the trouble and pains He is taking with us now, to bring us up to that ideal, which is His thought of us. We know that it is God’s way to work slowly, so we must not be surprised if He takes a great many years of discipline to turn a mortal being into an immortal, glorious angel.

    It is so encouraging to know that patience being a virture, is one of the most beautiful and glorious gifts our Father can bestow on us! Praise Him, for he is worthy to receive Praise! I have learned patience the last 4 days with my Mother being in the hospital and many blessings I have found daily on this site. It is truly annointed!

Verse of the Day

Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” — Revelation 21: 2-4 (NKJV)
