MARCH 15TH
FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE
THE LOVE OF GOD SURROUNDS US
LIKE THE AIR WE BREATH AROUND US-
AS NEAR AS A HEARTBEAT,
AS CLOSE AS A PRAYER,
AND WHENEVER WE NEED HIM,
HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.
THE LORD IS FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS WORDS,
AND GRACIOUS IN ALL HIS DEEDS.
PSALM 145:13
TODAY EACH BEAT OF YOUR HEART
WILL REMIND YOU THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.
TO LIVE IN HOPE MEANS TO EXPECT THAT OUR
LONGINGS WILL BE FULFILLED.
WHEN WE HOLD
THAT IMAGE OF FULFILLMENT CONSTANTLY,
WE CANNOT HELP BUT NOTICE ALL THE WAYS
IN WHICH OUR LIVES ARE BLESSED.
WHO BIDS ME HOPE, AND IN THAT CHARMING
WORD HAS PEACE AND TRANSPORT TO MY
SOUL RESTOR'D.
-GEORGE LYTTLETON-
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO LIVE A LIFE OF HOPE?
NOTHING MORE THAN A WILLING HEART.
HOPEFUL PEOPLE HAVE A PEACE ABOUT THEM,
A WAY OF LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH
AND HAPPINESS.
THEIR LIVES ARE NOT ANY
EASIER THAN ANYONE ELSE'S; IT'S
THEIR ATTITUDE THAT SETS THEM APART.
STREAMS IN THE DESERT
DAILY THOUGHTS FROM
THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC
by MRS. CHARLES E.
COWMAN
CARRYING HIS OWN CROSS,
HE WENT OUT.
JOHN 19:17
GOD KNOWS BEST WHAT CROSS
WE NEED TO BEAR.
WE DO NOT
KNOW HOW HEAVY OTHER PEOPLE'S
CROSSES ARE.
IF WE COULD TRY ALL
THE OTHER CROSSES THAT WE THINK
LIGHTER THAN OUR OWN, WE WOULD
AT LAST FIND THAT NOT ONE OF THEM
SUITED US SO WELL AS OUR OWN.
PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER
PRAY THE LARGEST PRAYERS.
YOU CANNOT THINK A PRAYER
SO LARGE THAT GOD IN ANSWERING
IT, WILL NOT WISH YOU HAD MADE
IT LARGER.
PRAY NOT FOR CRUTCHES
BUT FOR WINGS.
-PHILLIPS BROOKS-
YOU ARE THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE WHO
INHABITS ETERNITY, WHOSE NAME IS HOLY.
YOU LIVE IN A HIGH AND HOLY PLACE BUT
ALSO WITH HIM WHO IS CONTRITE AND
LOWLY IN SPIRIT, TO REVIVE THE SPIRIT
OF THE LOWLY AND TO REVIVE THE HEART
OF THE CONTRITE.
ISAIAH 57:15
GOD PROMISED THE GOSPEL BEFOREHAND
THROUGH HIS PROPHETS IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES, CONCERNING HIS SON-WHO
WAS A DESCENDANT OF DAVID ACCORDING
TO THE FLESH, AND WHO WAS DECLARED
WITH POWER TO BE THE SON OF GOD,
ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS,
BY HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD-
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
ROMANS 1:2-4
BLESSED BE THE LORD; DAY BY DAY HE BEARS
OUR BURDENS, THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION.
OUR GOD IS THE GOD OF SALVATION, AND TO GOD
THE LORD BELONGS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
PSALM 68:19-20
I WILL OWE NOTHING TO ANYONE EXCEPT
TO LOVE THEM, FOR HE WHO LOVES HIS
NEIGHBOR HAS FULFILLED THE LAW.
ROMANS 13:8
LORD, I THANK YOU FOR REVIVING THE SPIRIT
OF THE LOWLY AND FOR RAISING
YOUR SON FROM THE DEAD.
I THANK YOU
FOR BEARING MY BURDENS AND POURING
OUT YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME AS I SEEK TO
SERVE YOU BY LOVING OTHERS.
MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE
WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS!
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY,
AMEN.
