So many of the things in my blog are not original and some are. Some are paraphrases of devotions and lessons I received daily thru music, emails, reading. But all mean something to me so maybe you too?

 

Though for awhile we may suffer as our Head once suffered, yet we are even now blessed with heavenly blessings in him

There are streaks of the light of joy to herald our eternal sun rising.

Gleams of glory from the spirit-world cheer our hearts, and urge us onward.

Oh, the longsuffering of my Beloved, to tarry when he found himself shut out,

Oh, the greatness of his patience, to knock and knock again,

Wretch was I, to treat my Lord, my All in All, my exceeding great joy, as though he was a stranger.

Kiss away these tears, and then purge my heart and bind it to thyself, never to wander more.
The divine intention can be the exact opposite of the human intention.

'Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

If I find no truth within me to share, then let me keep silent. Amen.

If God created life, He alone gets to define it.

Be a rock, not one that sticks out but part of the whole. One rock can’t build a home, it must be many stones.
