• “Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever.” – Betty Scott Stam, 20th Century Martyr

Joy and Strength 6/16

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Ps. cxix. 54.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phil. iv. 19.

How must the pilgrim’s load be borne?
With staggering limbs and look forlorn?
His Guide chose all that load within;
There ‘s need of everything but sin.

So, trusting Him whose love He knows.
Singing along the road he goes;
And nightly of his burden makes
A pillow, till the morning breaks.
Lucy Larcom.

THEY live contented with what they have, whether it be little or much, because they know that they receive as much as is profitable for them; little, if little be profitable, and much, if much be profitable; and that they cannot tell what is profitable for them, but the Lord only can, who has an eternal end in view in all things which He provides.
Emanuel Swedenborg.

I hope you will learn, what I am always hoping to learn, to rejoice in God continually, knowing that He is really ordering all your circumstances to the one end of making you a partaker of His own goodness, and bringing you within His own sympathy.
Thomas Erskine.

  • “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
