• “They only did what God permitted them to do, which enabled me always to keep God in sight… When we suffer, we should always remember that God inflicts the blow. Wicked men, it is true, are not infrequently His instruments; and the fact does not diminish, but simply develops their wickedness. But when we are so mentally disposed that we love the strokes we suffer, regarding them as coming from God, and as expressions of what He sees best for us, we are then in the proper state to look forgivingly and kindly upon the subordinate instrument which He permits to smite us.” – Madame Guyon

Joy and Strength 12/12

Published December 12, 2019 | By womenofchristianity

My soul shall be joyful in the Lord; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
Ps. xxxv. 9.

The living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
I Tim. vi. 17.

Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart.
Isa. Ixv. 14.

Give me, O Lord, a heart of grace,
A voice of joy, a shining face,
That I may show where’er I turn
Thy love within my soul doth bum!

A tenderness for all that stray.
With strength to help them on the way
A cheerfulness, a heavenly mirth,
Brightening my steps along the earth!
Lady Gilbert.

THOSE who love God are encompassed with gladness on every side, because in every passing moment they see and feel a Father’s love, and nothing of this world can take it away or lessen it.
H. L. Sidney Lear.

To be happy is properly the beginning of all schemes for making happy.
Sarah W. Stephen.

My life is so strangely free from all trial and trouble, that I cannot doubt my own happiness is one of the talents entrusted to me to “occupy” with, till the Master shall return, by doing something to make other lives happy.
Charles L. Dodgeson

  • “Lead me, Lord, to the Rock that is higher than I. Let me hear your word, give me grace to obey, to build steadily, stone upon stone, day by day, to do what You say. Establish my heart where floods have no power to overwhelm, for Christ’s sake. Amen.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Verse of the Day

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. — Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV)
