This Day's Thought

There is only one being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Romans 12:6-8
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

When you have grown still on purpose while everything around you is asking for chaos, you will find the doors between every room of the interior castle thrown open, the path home to your true love unobstructed after all.

Teresa of Ávila

This Day's Thought

An overemphasis on temporal security is a compensation for a loss of the sense of eternal security.

Fulton J. Sheen

This Day's Verse

I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

1 Corinthians 7:7
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

His thoughts were slow,
His words were few and never formed to glisten.
But he was a joy to all his friends,
You should have heard him listen!

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

This Day's Thought

As the prudent vintager eats only ripe grapes, and gathers not those which are green, so the eyes of a wise man rests only upon the virtue in others; whereas the eyes of the fool seeks only to discover in his neighbor vices and defects.

John Climacus

This Day's Verse

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

God could not have chosen anyone less qualified, or more of a sinner, than myself. And so, for this wonderful work He intends to perform through us, He selected me—for God always chooses the weak and the absurd, and those who count for nothing.

Francis of Assisi

This Day's Thought

Study universal holiness of life.  Your whole usefulness depends on this….Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God.  Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.

Robert Murray M’Cheyne

This Day's Verse

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

Matthew 7:11
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

God is God.  He knows what he is doing.  When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.
