APRIL 8TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



SPRINGTIME IS A SEASON
OF HOPE AND JOY AND CHEER...
THERE'S BEAUTY ALL AROUND US
TO SEE, AND TOUCH, AND HEAR.




HE MADE THE MOON FOR THE SEASONS; THE
SUN KNOWS THE PLACE OF IT'S SETTING.




PSALM 104:19



TODAY TAKE TIME TO VALUE THE ABILITY
TO SEE-OR TO TOUCH OR TO
HEAR OR TO SMELL OR TO TASTE.






TRUE LOVE GOES BEYOND
FLOWERS AND ROMANCE;
IT IS MORE THAN CHAMPAGNE
AND CANDLELIGHT.

TRUE LOVE IS THE ARMS OF ONE
WHO WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
NO MATTER HOW COLD THE NIGHT



LOVE IS A FRUIT IN SEASON AT ALL TIMES.
-MOTHER TERESA-



STAND IN A BELOVED'S SHADE,
NOT SHADOW,
AND DISCOVER NEW SIGHTS TO SHARE,
NEW DIRECTIONS TO GO,
ALL LEADING TO EVEN
MORE REASONS FOR STANDING TOGETHER.




IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE EYES OF SOMEONE WE LOVE
THAT WE SEE WHO WE REALLY ARE.




WHEN WE LOVE SOMEONE,
WE SEE THE BEST OF WHO WE ARE IN THEM,
AND WE ARE INSPIRED TO BE EVEN BETTER.




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



THEN THERE CAME A VOICE
FROM ABOVE... AS THEY
STOOD WITH LOWERED WINGS.




EZEKIEL 1:25



THEY HEARD THE VOICE WHEN
THEY... LET DOWN THEIR WINGS.

HOW MUCH TIME IS LOST BY NOT
LETTING DOWN THE WINGS OF OUR
SPIRIT AND GETTING VERY QUIET
BEFORE HIM! OH, THE CALM, THE
REST, THE PEACE WHICH COME
AS WE WAIT IN HIS PRESENCE.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAYER IS HEAVEN'S TELEPHONE LINE
WHICH IS FREE TO ALL, ALWAYS AVAILABLE,
NEVER OUT OF ORDER.
THE LINE, HOWEVER,
MUST ALWAYS BE USED WITH REVERENCE...
-HERBERT LOCKYER-



GOD SET FORTH CHRIST TO BE A PROPITIATION
THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD.
HE DID THIS TO
DEMONSTRATE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, BECAUSE
IN HIS FORBEARANCE HE PASSED OVER THE
SINS COMMITTED BEFOREHAND; HE DID IT TO
DEMONSTRATE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AT THE PRESENT
TIME, THAT HE MIGHT BE JUST AND
THE JUSTIFIER OF THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH
IN JESUS.
WHERE, THEN, IS BOASTING? IT IS
EXCLUDED.
BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS? NO,
BUT BY A LAW OF FAITH.
FOR WE MAINTAIN
THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH APART
FROM THE WORKS OF THE LAW.




ROMANS 3:25-28



BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HAS BLESSED ME
WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE
HEAVENLY REALMS IN CHRIST.




EPHESIANS 1:3



THE INTEGRITY OF THE UPRIGHT GUIDES
THEM, BUT THE UNFAITHFUL ARE DESTROYED
BY THERE DUPLICITY.




PROVERBS 11:3



LORD I THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOD OF
CHRIST THAT MAKES ME RIGHTEOUS IN
YOUR SIGHT.
I THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE
BLESSED ME WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING.
HELP ME TO LIVE IN INTEGRITY.

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