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

“In case any are puzzled by the different translations from which I draw strength and help and delight, it is like this: In studying any object with the microscope we use different lenses and turn the mirror in various ways; each change brings out some new wonder and beauty. So it is for those who are not Greek or Hebrew scholars, and who use the work of scholars to open the meaning of the exhaustible Word–the Bible is richer than any single version can fully show.” – Amy Carmichael
