MARCH 11TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



NO HILL IS TOO HIGH,
NO MOUNTAIN TOO TALL,
FOR WITH FAITH IN THE LORD
YOU CAN CONQUER THEM ALL.




FOR GOD ALONE MY SOUL WAIT IN
SILENCE, FOR MY HOPE IS FROM HIM.




PSALM 62:5



TODAY REPEAT OVER AND OVER
"WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
"





LOVE AND THE HOPE OF IT ARE NOT
THINGS ONE CAN LEARN;
THEY ARE A PART OF LIFE'S HERITAGE.


-MARIA MONTESSORI-



HOPE KNOWS
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PAIN
IS JOY;
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF INJUSTICE
IS PEACE.






HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT US,
BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE HAS BEEN POURED
INTO OUR HEARTS.




ROMANS 5:5



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



ENDURE HARDSHIPS AS DISCIPLINE;
GOD IS TREATING YOU AS SONS.




HEBREWS 12:7



LET US NOT SHRINK FROM A HARD
LESSON OR WINCE UNDER ANY ROD
OF CHASTISEMENT.
THE RICHER WILL
BE THE CROWN, AND THE SWEETER WILL
BE HEAVEN, IF WE ENDURE CHEERFULLY
TO THE END AND GRADUATE IN GLORY.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAYER IS A FINE, DELICATE INSTRUMENT.

TO USE IT RIGHT IS A GREAT ART, A HOLY ART.

THERE IS PERHAPS NO GREATER ART THAN
THE ART OF PRAYER.


-OLE H.
HALLESBY-



WHO IS A GOD LIKE YOU, WHO PARDONS INIQUITY
AND PASSES OVER THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE
REMNANT OF HIS INHERITANCE? YOU DO NOT STAY
ANGRY FOREVER BUT DELIGHT TO SHOW MERCY.

YOU WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON YOUR PEOPLE;
YOU WILL TREAD THEIR INIQUITIES UNDERFOOT
AND HURL ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS
OF THE SEA.




MICAH 7:18-19



I HAVE BEEN LOVED BY GOD AND CALLED TO BE A SAINT;
GRACE AND PEACE HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO ME FROM GOD
OUR FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.




ROMANS 1:7



THE FOREMOST COMMANDMENT IS THIS: "HEAR, O ISRAEL;
THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE; AND YOU SHALL
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND AND
WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
"THE SECOND IS THIS:
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
"
THERE IS NO COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE.

TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH,
AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF ARE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL BURNT OFFERINGS
AND SACRIFICES.




MARK 12:29-31,33



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWER, FOR YOUR
PATIENCE, AND FOR YOUR COMPASSION.
I THANK
YOU THAT I HAVE BEEN LOVED BY YOU, AND I ASK
YOU TO HELP ME WALK IN THE PATH OF LOVE WITH
YOU AND WITH OTHERS.


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