MARCH 6TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



THERE CAN BE NO CROWN OF STARS
WITHOUT A CROSS TO BEAR,
AND THERE IS NO SALVATION
WITHOUT FAITH AND LOVE AND PRAYER.




BLESSINGS ARE ON THE HEAD OF
THE RIGHTEOUS.




PROVERBS 10:6



TODAY WITH FAITH AND LOVE AND PRAYER
AS YOUR COMPANIONS, PRESS ON TO
NEWER AND HIGHER ACHIEVEMENTS.






TODAY,
I LONG
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE-
TO PASS ALONG
PEACE AND JOY
AND SOMEHOW
RESURRECT HOPE
IN WEARY HEARTS.




HOPE, LIKE DAWN, TOUCHES THE DARKNESS WITH LIGHT,
OPENING US TO THE NEW DAY COMING.




HOPE IS THE SOUL'S FAITHFUL FRIEND,
HOLDING ITS HAND THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND SAYING, "THERE WILL BE A GLORIOUS DAWN.
"



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



DO NOT FRET BECAUSE
OF EVIL MEN.




PSALM 37:1



IN FRETFULNESS, A LITTLE BIT OF GRIT
GETS INTO THE BEARINGS-SOME
SLIGHT DISAPPOINTMENT, SOME
INGRATITUDE, SOME DISCOURTESY-
AND THE SMOOTH WORKING OF THE
LIFE IS CHECKED... KEEP COOL!
FRETTING ONLY HEATS THE BEARINGS;
IT DOES NOT GENERATE THE STEAM.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



LITTLE OF THE WORD WITH LITTLE PRAYER
IS DEATH TO THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.
MUCH OF
THE WORD WITH LITTLE PRAYER GIVES A
SICKLY LIFE.
MUCH PRAYER WITH LITTLE
OF THE WORD GIVES EMOTIONAL LIFE.

BUT A FULL MEASURE OF BOTH THE WORD
AND PRAYER EACH DAY GIVES A HEALTHY AND
POWERFUL LIFE.


-ANDREW MURRAY-



YOU ARE HE; YOU ARE THE FIRST,
AND YOU ARE ALSO THE LAST.




ISAIAH 48:12



WHO WILL BRING A CHARGE AGAINST
THOSE WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN?
IT IS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES.
WHO IS HE
WHO CONDEMNS? IT IS CHRIST
JESUS WHO DIED, WHO WAS FURTHERMORE
RAISED TO LIFE, WHO IS AT
THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND IS ALSO
INTERCEDING FOR ME.




ROMANS 8:33-34



I WILL ENDURE DISCIPLINE, FOR GOD IS
TREATING ME AS A SON.

FOR WHAT SON IS NOT DISCIPLINED
BY HIS FATHER? IF I AM
WITHOUT DISCIPLINE, OF WHICH
ALL HAVE BECOME PARTAKERS,
THEN I AM AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD
AND NOT A TRUE SON.

MOREOVER, WE HAVE ALL HAD HUMAN
FATHERS WHO DISCIPLINED
US, AND WE RESPECTED THEM; HOW
MUCH MORE SHOULD I BE SUBJECTED
TO THE FATHER OF SPIRITS AND LIVE?



HEBREWS 12:7-9



WE SHOULD BEAR ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS
AND SO FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST.




GALATIANS 6:2



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR BEING THE FIRST
AND THE LAST AND THAT CHRIST JESUS
INTERCEDES ON MY BEHALF.
I WILL ENDURE
YOUR DISCIPLINE WITH JOY.
HELP ME TO
BEAR THE BURDENS OF OTHERS THUS
FULFILLING THE LAW OF CHRIST.


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