MAY 5TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WE KNOW NOT HOW IT HAPPENED
THAT IN AN HOUR OF NEED
SOMEBODY OUT OF NOWHERE
PROVED TO BE A FRIEND INDEED!



YOUR FRIEND, AND YOUR FATHER'S FRIEND,
DO NOT FORSAKE.



PROVERBS 27:10



TODAY STEP INTO SOMEONE'S LIFE
AND PROVE YOUR FRIENDSHIP.





IS THERE SUCH THING AS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
OF COURSE.
YET EVEN MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE ELATION OF A NEW LOVE
IS THE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE
OF AN OLD ONE.



CHOOSE YOUR LOVES
AS MUCH BY WHAT YOU CAN
HELP THEM BECOME
AS BY WHAT THEY CAN OFFER YOU.



MY BOUNTY IS AS BOUNDLESS AS THE SEA,
MY LOVE AS DEEP, THE MORE I GIVE TO THEE,
THE MORE I HAVE, FOR BOTH ARE INFINITE.

-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE-



YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ALL THAT YOU CAN BE
YOU WILL NEVER FULFILL YOUR DESTINY
YOU WILL NEVER BE COMPLETELY FREE
UNTIL YOU LOVE UNSELFISHLY.



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



AND WE KNOW THAT ALL
THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR
GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD.



ROMANS 8:28
KJV



IN ONE THOUSAND TRIALS IT IS
NOT FIVE HUNDRED OF THEM THAT
WORK FOR THE BELIEVERS GOOD,
BUT NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE
OF THEM, AND ONE BESIDE.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAYER LINKS HUMAN IMPOTENCE WITH DIVINE
OMNIPOTENCE AND BRINGS THE INFINITE RESOURCES
OF THE INFINITE GOD INTO BENEFICIAL ACTION.

-HERBERT LOCKYER-



CHRIST IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE
FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION. FOR BY HIM ALL
THINGS WERE CREATED THAT ARE IN HEAVEN AND
ON EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THRONES
OR DOMINIONS OR RULERS OR AUTHORITIES; ALL THINGS
WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM. AND HE IS BEFORE
ALL THINGS, AND IN HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER.



COLOSSIANS 1:15-17



NOW I SEE DIMLY, AS IN A MIRROR, BUT THEN I SHALL
SEE FACE TO FACE. NOW I KNOW IN PART, BUT THEN I SHALL
KNOW FULLY, EVEN AS I AM FULLY KNOWN.



1 CORINTHIANS 13:12



I WILL KEEP MY LIFE FREE FROM THE LOVE OF MONEY
AND BE CONTENT WITH WHAT I HAVE, FOR YOU HAVE SAID,
"I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR WILL I FORSAKE YOU.



HEBREWS 13:5



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR CHRIST AND FOR
HIS AUTHORITY OVER ALL THINGS. I THANK
YOU THAT I WILL KNOW JESUS FULLY. HELP
ME TO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT I HAVE AND
TO DO GOOD DEEDS TOWARD OTHERS.

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