Soren Kierkegaard

“So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’”

Deuteronomy 20:2-4

Once it was the feeling, now it is His Word.
Once His gifts I wanted, now the Giver own.
Once I sought for healing, now Himself alone.

When Bill Borden, son of the wealthy Bordens, left for China as a missionary, many of his friends thought he was foolish to “waste his life,” as they put it, trying to convert a few heathen to Christianity. But Bill loved Christ and he loved people! On his way to China he contracted a disease and died. At his bedside they found a note that he had written while he was dying. It read: “No reserve, no retreat, and no regrets.” Borden had found more happiness in his few years of sacrificial service than most people find in a lifetime.
