The world is sunny and beautiful outside today, cold weather and bare branches notwithstanding. Isn’t it amazing what a difference the sun makes? Light always trumps the dark.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Ephesians 5:8-11
If you’re still in the darkness, turn your gaze to the Light. You know Who I mean.
Modesty is always beautiful.
G.K. Chesterton
I agree with G.K. Do you?
“God is too good to be unkind
and He is too wise to be mistaken.
And when we cannot trace His hand,
we must trust His heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Such good words to tuck away when we are reeling from some difficulty and “cannot trace His hand.” We can always trust His heart.
You owe it to all of us to get on with what you’re good at.
W.H. Auden
This almost felt like a bracing cup of cold water thrown in my sometimes insecure and unconfident face. Get on with it!
Let nothing be said about anyone
unless it passes through the three sieves:
Is it true?
Is it kind?
It is necessary?
Amy Carmichael
The psalmist said, “Set a guard O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.” (Psalm 141:3). And let me always use these three sieves!
I’ll delete this in the morning unless it passes through the three sieves.
