JUNE 4TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF MAN REACHES HIS GOAL-
AND GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD BUT LOSES HIS SOUL,
FOR WHAT HAVE WE WON IF IN GAINING THIS END
WE'VE BEEN MUCH TOO BUSY TO BE KIND TO A FRIEND?



YOUR OWN SOUL IS NOURISHED WHEN YOU ARE KIND;
IT IS DESTROYED WHEN YOU ARE CRUEL.



PROVERBS 11:17



TODAY THE MOST INSPIRING THING YOU
CAN DO IS TO INSPIRE ANOTHER PERSON.





HEART OF MINE, SING BOLDLY
THE SONGS OF HOPE
TO CHASE AWAY
THE GLOOM.



THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A PERSON WHO QUITS
AND ONE WHO KEEPS ON
THROUGH STORM AND STRUGGLE
IS A HOPEFUL HEART.



EVEN NOW I AM FULL OF HOPE,
BUT THE END LIES IN GOD.

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



AS SOON AS YOU BEGAN
TO PRAY, AN ANSWER
WAS GIVEN, WHICH I
HAVE COME TO TELL YOU.



DANIEL 9:23



IT IS WELL TO CLOSE EVERY PRAYER
WITH PRAISE TO GOD... HE WHO
NEVER FORSAKES HIS LOVINGKINDNESS
AND HIS TRUTH... FOR THE ANSWER
THAT HE HAS ALREADY GRANTED.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



IT IS MEN'S IGNORANCE OF THEMSELVES THAT MAKES
PRAYER LITTLE IN REQUEST; HUNGER BEST TEACHES
MEN TO BEG... PRAYER WOULD NOT SEEM SO
NEEDLESS, IF YOU KNEW YOUR NEEDS. KNOW
YOURSELVES, AND BE PRAYERLESS IF YOU CAN.

IN CHRIST ARE HIDDEN ALL THE TREASURES OF
WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.



COLOSSIANS 2:3



AS THE LIGHTENING COMES FROM THE EAST AND FLASHES
TO THE WEST, SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN.
THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN WILL APPEAR IN THE SKY,
AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN, AND
THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS
OF THE SKY WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.



MATTHEW 24:27, 30



GOD'S DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN ME ALL THINGS THAT
PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE
OF HIM WHO CALLED ME BY HIS OWN
GLORY AND VIRTUE. THROUGH THESE HE HAS GIVEN ME HIS VERY
GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES, SO THAT THROUGH
THEM I MAY BE A PARTAKER OF THE DIVINE NATURE, HAVING ESCAPED
THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD BY LUST.



2 PETER 1:3-4



I WILL NOT SEEK MY OWN INTERESTS,
BUT THOSE OF CHRIST JESUS.



PHILIPPIANS 2:21



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT ALL THE TREASURES
OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE ARE HIDDEN IN
CHRIST AND HE WILL RETURN WITH POWER AND GREAT
GLORY. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWER AND YOUR
PRECIOUS PROMISES, AS I SEEK THE INTERESTS OF CHRIST.

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