• “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

Eternity by Corrie ten Boom

Published February 12, 2018 | By womenofchristianity

A man may go to heaven

without health
without wealth
without fame
without a great nature
without learning
without culture
without beauty
without friends
without ten thousand other things,
but he never can go to heaven
without Christ.
The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration but its donation.
This life is only the first page of the book, not the last page.
“My times are in thy hand…” Psalm 31:15
