FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WE KNOW THAT LIFE IS NEVER MEASURED
BY HOW MANY YEARS WE LIVE,
BUT BY KINDLY THINGS WE DO
AND THE HAPPINESS WE GIVE.




A GENEROUS MAN WILL HIMSELF BE BLESSED,
FOR HE SHARES HIS FOOD WITH THE POOR.




PROVERBS 22:9



TODAY SHARE A KINDNESS- A TELEPHONE CALL,
A RIDE, A LOAF OF HOMEMADE BREAD- WITH
SOMEONE IN NEED.






HOPE IS LIKE THE SUN,
WHICH, AS WE JOURNEY TOWARDS IT,
CASTS THE SHADOW OF OUR BURDEN
BEHIND US.


-SAMUEL SMILES-



HOPE IS THE GLUE
THAT BINDS THE PIECES OF A SHATTERED DREAM,
MAKING IT SHINY AND NEW AND WHOLE AGAIN.






WE HAVE THIS HOPE,
A SURE AND STEADFAST ANCHOR OF THE SOUL,
A HOPE THAT ENTERS THE INNER SHRINE
BEHIND THE CURTAIN.




HEBREWS 6:19



STREAMS IN THE DESERT
DAILY THOGHTS FROM
THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC
by MRS. CHARLES E.
COWMAN



HE TURNED THE SEA INTO DRY LAND:
THEY WENT THROUGH THE FLOOD ON FOOT:
THERE DID WE REJOICE IN HIM.




PSALM 66:6



IT IS STRIKING ASSERTION, "THROUGH
THE FLOODS" (THE PLACE WHERE WE
MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED NOTHING
BUT TREMBLING AND TERROR, ANGUISH
AND DISMAY), "THERE," SAYS THE
PSALMIST, "DID WE REJOICE IN HIM!"



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



TO THINK THAT GOD, THE RULER
OF THE UNIVERSE, WOULD DO FOR
ME FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT
I ASKED... STAGGERS ME.
ANSWERED
PRAYER IS THE MOST WONDERFUL
OF HIS GIFTS.

-DAVID JEREMIAH-



YOU WILL MAGNIFY YOURSELF AND SANCTIFY
YOURSELF, AND YOU WILL MAKE YOURSELF
KNOWN IN THE SIGHT OF MANY NATIONS, AND
THEY WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE LORD.




EZEKIEL 38:23



I KNOW THAT MY OLD SELF WAS CRUCIFIED
WITH CHRIST, SO THAT THE BODY OF SIN
MIGHT BE DONE AWAY WITH, THAT I SHOULD
NO LONGER BE A SLAVE TO SIN; FOR THE ONE
WHO HAS DIED HAS BEEN FREED FROM SIN.




ROMANS 6:6-7



IF WE HAVE ANY ENCOURAGEMENT FROM
BEING UNITED WITH CHRIST, IF ANY COMFORT
FROM HIS LOVE, IF ANY FELLOWSHIP OF
THE SPIRIT, IF ANY AFFECTION AND COMPASSION,
WE SHOULD ALSO BE LIKE MINDED, HAVING THE
SAME LOVE, BEING ONE SPIRIT AND ONE IN PURPOSE.




PHILIPPIANS 2:1-2



JUST AS THE BODY IS ONE, BUT HAS MANY MEMBERS,
AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BODY, BEING MANY,
ARE ONE BODY; SO ALSO IS CHRIST.




1 CORINTHIANS
12:12



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU WILL BE EXALTED
IN ALL THE EARTH AND ALL PEOPLE WILL KNOW
YOU ARE THE LORD.
I THANK YOU THAT BECAUSE
I WAS CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST, I AM NO LONGER
A SLAVE TO SIN.
I WILL SEEK UNITY OF SPIRIT
WITH OTHER BELIEVERS AS A MEMBER OF
THE SAME BODY.


MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE
WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS!
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY,
AMEN.
