Love letter

"There is a beauty, a quiet splendor, in the journey of maturity when we travel with You... year by year, season by season, growing closer, becoming more and more Your servant and Your friend. Help me, Lord, to live so closely to Your truth, so completely in Your will, that wisdom lines my spirit as time lines my face. Keep my heart forever young, my hope in You unfailing. Let me age in autumn colors, dressed in banners of Your love."

"Don't avoid prayer because you think you are not articulate or expressive. The stumbling, bumbling words of a tear-stained heart ring out louder in the spirit realm than the finest resonating voice of an orator."

Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.

We should not ask, "What is wrong with the world?" for that diagnosis has already been given. Rather, we should ask, "What has happened to the salt and light?" - John R. W. Stott

No one writes love letters to me the way God does. So tenderly He reminds me that although a mother may forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne, "I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.." (Isaiah 49:15-16). In times when I don't know what I ought to pray for, ".. the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." (Romans 8:26). And to "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9) when I have doubts and fears in my mind. Through so many different times, God encourages me through His love letter to us. And when I need a break from the hectic schedule, God says to me "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in ALL the earth. " (Psalms 46:10).
