This Day's Thought

The very helplessness of the world today is in itself a repudiation of that self-sufficient and self-confident view of life that the world in its progressive development has outgrown the need of Christ.  It is following Christ that gives the world what it most needs—a standard of right living, a cause to maintain and defend, a Leader to follow, and a law to obey.

I am not worthy of the least of all your loving kindnesses shown me again and again just as you promised me.

This Day's Thought

I wish you could see Camden and see the lovely little children who are trying to grow up here in ugly situations like so many flowers in fields of old tires and broken bottles.

Michael Doyle

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

If your faith in God is stronger for every humble task in which you need and get His aid, then that humble task is necessary to the fullness of your faith in God.  It will make the music of your life more firm and solid.

For you shall not go out with haste, Nor go by flight; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday


This Day's Thought

No matter how good your life is at any moment, there’s always something bad you need to work on.  And no matter how bad your life may appear to be, there is always something to be grateful for.  Behind every public success, you will find some kind of private pain.  There is no such thing as a painless life.  But pain can build and deepen your character if you respond in the right way.

Rick Warren


This Day's Verse

“And don’t be afraid of the people, for I, the Lord, will be with you and see you through.”

Jeremiah 1:8
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.

John Ruskin

This Day's Thought

The happy life is to rejoice in God and for God.

Augustine


This Day's Verse

By your patience possess your souls.

Luke 21:19
The New King James Version


This Day's Smile

Sometimes you change people’s lives just by saying “good morning.”  I always say to myself, “I’ll never see this person again on the elevator, on the stairwell, in the grocery store.  This is the only chance, the two of us.”

Courtney B. Vance

This Day's Thought

Happy is the sadness of the faithful, which has such joy with it, and unhappy is the joy of unbelievers, which has such sadness with it.

This Day's Thought

We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.  If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear.  Let us take breath, and go on afresh.

Francis de Sales


This Day's Verse

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour.  Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.  Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.  Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.

Romans 12:9-13
The New Revised Standard Version


This Day's Smile

Man proposes, but God disposes.

Thomas à Kempis

This Day's Thought

Ask Him to increase your powers of sympathy: to give you more quickness and depth of sympathy, in little things as well as great.  Opportunities of doing a kindness are often lost from mere want of thought.  Half a dozen lines of kindness may bring sunshine into the whole day of some sick person.  Think of the pleasure you might give to someone who is shut in, and has fewer pleasures than you have, by sharing with her some little comfort or enjoyment that you have learnt to look upon as a necessary of life,— the pleasant drive, the new book, flowers from the country, etc.  Try to put yourself in another’s place.  Ask, “What should I like myself, if I were hard-worked, or sick, or lonely?”  Cultivate the habit of sympathy.

George H. Wilkinson


This Day's Verse

And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”

Galatians 4:6
The New Living Translation


This Day's Reprise

God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.
