This Day's Thought

Above all knowledge, know Christ.

John Wesley

This Day's Verse

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

Psalm 17:6
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead.  Fill their lives with sweetness.  Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Thought

A man should be encouraged to do what the Maker of him has intended by the making of him, according as the gifts have been bestowed on him for that purpose.  His happiness, and that of others around him depends upon such a relation to the Maker’s will.

Thomas Carlyle

This Day's Verse

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Psalm 57:1
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Come and share a pot of tea,
My home is warm and my friendship’s free.

This Day's Thought

How is it, then, that the voice of God is not more distinctly heard by men?  The answer to this question is: To be heard it must be listened for.

Désiré-Joseph Mercier

This Day's Verse

For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Hebrews 6:10
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

You cannot be my friend unless you desire my good.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

To pray is to desire; but it is to desire what God would have us desire.  He who desires not from the bottom of his heart, offers a deceitful prayer.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness.

Proverbs 4:11
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults.  If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.  But few have such friends.  Our enemies usually teach us what we are at the point of the sword.
