MARCH 12TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR CROSS,
FOR YOUR CROSS HAS BEEN BLEST.

GOD MADE IT JUST FOR YOU TO WEAR
AND REMEMBER, GOD KNOWS BEST!



TRUST IN THE LORD WITH
ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN
NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING;
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE
HIM, AND HE WILL MAKE
YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.




PROVERBS 3:5-6



TODAY EXCEPT YOUR CROSS
UNCOMPLAININGLY-FOR, AFTER ALL,
IT WAS PERSONALLY CREATED FOR
YOU BY THE MASTER DESIGNER.






LIKE THE EVERGREEN,
HOPE NEVER DIES,
BUT STANDS TALL AND MIGHTY
AGAINST THE COLDEST WINTER WINDS
UNTIL THE SUMMER SUN RETURNS
TO WARM ITS OUTSTRETCHED BRANCHES.




HOPE GIVES ME
STRENGTH TO STAY
WHEN FEAR INSISTS,
"YOU MUST RUN AWAY.




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



HE MAKES THE CLOUDS
HIS CHARIOT AND RIDES ON
THE WINGS OF THE WIND.




PSALM 104:3



THOU HAST BUT LITTLE SUNSHINE,
BUT THY LONG GLOOMS ARE WISELY
APPOINTED THEE; FOR PERHAPS A
STRETCH OF SUMMER WEATHER WOULD
HAVE MADE THEE AS A PARCHED LAND
AND BARREN WILDERNESS.
THY LORD
KNOWS BEST, AND HE HAS THE CLOUDS
AND THE SUN AT HIS DISPOSAL.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



WHOEVER RISES FROM HIS
PRAYER A BETTER MAN;
THAT MAN'S PRAYER IS ANSWERED.


-GEORGE MEREDITH-



GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE,
NOR A SON OF MAN, THAT HE SHOULD CHANGE
HIS MIND.
HAS HE SPOKEN AND NOT DONE IT?
HAS HE PROMISED AND NOT FULFILLED IT?



NUMBERS 23:19



THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN,
AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER
THAN MEN.
BUT GOD CHOSE THE FOOLISH
THINGS OF THE WORLD TO SHAME THE WISE,
AND GOD CHOSE THE WEAK THINGS OF THE
WORLD TO SHAME THE STRONG; AND THE
LOWLY THINGS OF THIS WORLD AND THE
DESPISED THINGS GOD HAS CHOSEN, AND
THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT, TO NULLIFY THE
THINGS THAT ARE, SO THAT NO ONE MAY
BOAST BEFORE HIM.




1 CORINTHIANS 1:25,27-29



GOD WILL KEEP ME STRONG TO THE END,
SO THAT I WILL BE BLAMELESS ON THE DAY
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
GOD IS FAITHFUL,
THROUGH WHOM I WAS CALLED INTO
FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS SON,
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.




1 CORINTHIANS 1:8-9



I SHOULD LET MY GENTLENESS BE EVIDENT
TO ALL MEN: THE LORD IS NEAR.




PHILIPPIANS 4:5



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR THE CERTAINTY OF
YOUR PROMISES AND FOR THE WISDOM OF
YOUR WAYS.
I THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME
STRONG TO THE END, SO I MAY BE A GENTLE
AND LOVING PERSON.


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