NOVEMBER 5TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



TO BE PEACEFUL, I MUST BE KIND
FOR PEACE CAN'T EXIST IN A HATE-TORN MIND,
SO TO HAVE PEACE I MUST ALWAYS SHOW
LOVE TO ALL PEOPLE I MEET, SEE, OR KNOW.



HE WHO RESPECTS THE COMMANDMENT
WILL BE REWARDED.



PROVERBS 13:13



TODAY ERASE ALL SIGNS OF HATRED-
LET LOVE AND PEACE PREVAIL.





THE HUMAN HEART IS LIKE A SHIP ON A STORMY
SEA DRIVEN ABOUT BY WINDS BLOWING FROM
ALL FOUR CORNERS OF HEAVEN.

-MARTIN LUTHER-



THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF LOVE IS TRUST-
TRUST THAT YOU EACH HOLD THE OTHER'S BEST
INTERESTS IN YOUR HEART,
AND TRUST IN YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN
OPEN YOUR LIFE TO ANOTHER WITHOUT RESERVATION.
UNKNOWN



TO LOVE MEANS ALWAYS TO ACT WITH KINDNESS
AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE OTHER PERSON.
WE MAY HAVE TO DO THINGS THAT WILL HURT ANOTHER,
BUT ONLY OUT OF NECESSITY, AND ONLY WITH THE GREATEST
HONESTY AND COMPASSION.
UNKNOWN



LOVE IS A GREAT BEAUTIFIER.

THE LORD WILL FULFILL FOR ME; YOUR LOVE,
O LORD, ENDURES FOREVER.



PSALM 128:8



THERE NEVER HAS BEEN KNOWN
GREAT SAINTLINESS OF SOUL WHICH
DID NOT PASS THROUGH GREAT
SUFFERING. OH, THE BLESSEDNESS

PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAY AS IF EVERYTHING DEPENDED ON GOD,
AND WORK AS IF EVERYTHING DEPENDED UPON MAN.

-ARCHBISHOP FRANCIS J. SPELLMAN-



HALLELUJAH! SALVATION AND GLORY AND POWER
BELONG TO OUR GOD, BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE
TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS.



REVELATION 19:1-2



THE MYSTERY THAT HAS BEEN KEPT HIDDEN FOR AGES
AND GENERATIONS IS NOW DISCLOSED TO THE SAINTS.
TO THEM GOD HAS CHOSEN TO MAKE KNOWN AMONG
THE GENTILES THE GLORIOUS RICHES OF THIS MYSTERY,
WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.



COLOSSIANS 1:26-27



BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL
HIS BENEFITS; WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR INIQUITIES
AND HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES; WHO REDEEMS
YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT AND CROWNS YOU WITH
LOVE AND COMPASSION; WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES
WITH GOOD THINGS, SO THAT YOUR YOUTH
IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S.



PSALM 103:2-5



I HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, NOT OF PERISHABLE SEED,
BUT OF IMPERISHABLE, THROUGH THE LIVING AND
ABIDING WORD OF GOD. THEREFORE, I WILL PUT AWAY
ALL MALICE AND ALL GUILE AND HYPOCRISY AND
ENVY AND ALL SLANDER.



1 PETER 1:23; 2:1



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT SALVATION, GLORY,
AND POWER BELONG TO YOU AND THAT YOU
HAVE REVEALED THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST TO
YOUR PEOPLE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR MANY
BENEFITS. HELP ME TO PUT AWAY THE THINGS
THAT DISPLEASE YOU.

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