APRIL 10TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



REMEMBER ME, GOD?
I COME EVERY DAY
JUST TO TALK WITH YOU, LORD,
AND TO LEARN HOW TO PRAY.




HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE OF MY CRY,
MY KING, AND MY GOD; FOR UNTO THEE
WILL I PRAY.




PSALM 5:2



TODAY PICTURE JESUS SITTING NEXT TO YOU.

WHAT WILL YOU DISCUSS? WHAT TOPICS WILL
BE COVERED?





GEESE TAKE TURNS,
TAKE UP THE SLACK,
IN THE NATURAL RHYTHM OF THINGS.

BY SHARING OUR JOURNEY,
WE, TOO, GAIN THAT UPDRAFT OF AIR,
WHERE WE'LL REST AWHILE,
KNOWING LOVE IS THE WIND
UNDER OUR WINGS.




LOVE IS NOT A PROTECTIVE CAGE,
BUT THE GIFT OF WINGS THAT ALLOW
ANOTHER TO FLY FREE.






THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE,
BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR.




1 JOHN 4:18



TWO PEOPLE IN LOVE
IS A WORK OF ART-
A MASTERPIECE SUBLIME.

TWO EQUAL HALVES
THAT MAKE A WHOLE-
AN IMAGE SO DIVINE.




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



BUT WE HAD HOPED...



LUKE 24:21



I HAVE ALWAYS FELT SO SORRY
THAT IN THAT WALK TO EMMAUS
THE DISCIPLES...
WALKED BY HIS SIDE DECLARING THEIR LOST FAITH,
LET US NEVER PUT OUR FAITH,
AS THESE DISCIPLES DID,
IN A PAST TENSE- "WE HAD TRUSTED."
BUT LET US EVER SAY, "I AM TRUSTING."




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



YOU YOURSELF CAN INFLUENCE MORE
PEOPLE FOR GOD...BY PRAYER THAN IN ANY
OTHER WAY.
IT IS NOT THE ONLY THING YOU
MUST DO BUT THE GREATEST THING
YOU CAN DO.

-WESLY DEUWEL-



CHRIST DIED FOR SINS ONCE FOR ALL,
THE RIGHTEOUS FOR THE UNRIGHTEOUS,
TO BRING ME TO GOD, HAVING BEEN PUT TO
DEATH IN THE BODY BUT MADE ALIVE BY
THE SPIRIT, HE HAS GONE INTO HEAVEN AND
IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, AFTER ANGELS
AND AUTHORITIES AND POWERS WERE MADE
SUBJECT TO HIM.




1 PETER 3:18,22



THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION;
WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE
STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL
I BE AFRAID?



PSALM 27:1



WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS NOBLE,
WHATEVER IS RIGHT, WHATEVER IS PURE,
WHATEVER IS LOVELY, WHATEVER IS OF
GOOD REPORT-IF ANYTHING IS EXCELLENT
OR PRAISEWORTHY-
I WILL THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS.
THE THINGS I HAVE LEARNED
AND RECEIVED AND HEARD AND SEEN IN
THOSE WHO WALK WITH CHRIST I WILL PRACTICE,
AND THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH ME.




PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
ENDURES FOREVER AND THAT CHRIST DIED FOR
SINS ONCE FOR ALL.
I THANK YOU FOR BEING MY
LIGHT AND SALVATION.
TEACH ME TO SET MY MIND
ON THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING TO YOU.

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