This Day's Thought

Where is the foolish person who would think it in his power to commit more than God could forgive.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

“Oh, that we might know the Lord!  Let us press on to know him.  He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

Hosea 6:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

It is rare when injustice, or slights patiently borne, do not leave the heart at the close of the day filled with marvellous joy and peace.

This Day's Thought

You are never to complain of your birth, your training, your employments, your hardships; never to fancy that you could be something if only you had a different lot and sphere assigned you.  God understands His own plan, and He knows what you need a great deal better than you do.  The very things that you most deprecate, as fatal limitations or obstructions, are probably what you most need.  What you call hindrances, obstacles, or discouragements, are probably God’s opportunities.  Bring down your soul, of, rather, bring it up to receive God’s will and do His work, in your lot, in your sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temptations—and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it.

Horace Bushnell

This Day's Verse

I am determined not to sin in what I say.

Psalm 17:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

There is no use in talking as if forgiveness were easy.  For we find that the work of forgiveness has to be done over and over again.

C. S. Lewis

This Day's Thought

The fact is there is nothing that we are doing that God could not raise up a stone in the field to do for him.  The realization of this puts us in our true place.  Though, lest we get too knocked down by such a realization of our insignificance, let me hasten to add that there is one thing that we alone can give God…and that is our personal love.  No one else can give God our personal love.  This is our great significance.

M. Basil Pennington

This Day's Verse

Now I say that each believer should confess his sins to God when he is aware of them, while there is time to be forgiven.  Judgment will not touch him if he does.

Psalm 32:6
The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

One of the most lasting pleasures you can experience is the feeling that comes over you when you genuinely forgive an enemy—whether he knows it or not.

O. A. Battista
