Let’s take Jesus at His word. When He says we’re forgiven, let’s unload the guilt. When He says we’re valuable, let’s believe Him. When He says we’re eternal, let’s bury our fear. When He says we’re provided for, let’s stop worrying.
Max Lucado

When your grief presses you to the very dust, worship there.
C. H. Spurgeon
Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the LORD;
Lamentations 3:40
The New King James Version
Our five-year-old Jeanie took to rising at 5:30 each morning and puttering around just long enough to wake the rest of us before climbing back into bed. Her reason was always the same—she had to see if there was a surprise. Finally we told her firmly that she must stop and that there wouldn’t be any surprises until Christmas, which was months away. “I wasn’t talking about living-room surprises,” she said through her tears. “I was talking about like yesterday morning it was raining, and this morning real summer’s here, and tomorrow morning I’ll probably find some pink in the rosebuds.” Jeanie still gets up each morning at 5:30.

Religion is the fear and love of God; its demonstration is good works; and faith is the root of both, for without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear and love what we do not believe.
William Penn

It is meditation that leads us in spirit into the hallowed solitudes wherein we find God alone—in peace, in calm, in silence, in recollection.

As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him. For he knows how we were made; he remembers that we are dust.

When we wholeheartedly commit ourselves to God, there is nothing mediocre or run-of-the-mill about us. To live for Christ is to be passionate about our Lord and about our lives.
