MAY 23RD

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



HE WHO MAKES A SACRIFICE,
SO ANOTHER MAY SUCCEED,
IS INDEED A TRUE DISCIPLE
OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOR'S CREED.



GATHER TO ME MY FAITHFUL ONES,
WHO MADE A COVENANT WITH ME BY SACRIFICE!



PSALM 50:5



TODAY CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING
SOMEONE A BETTER PERSON.





LOVE AND THE HOPE OF IT ARE NOT
THINGS ONE CAN LEARN,
THEY ARE A PART OF LIFE'S HERITAGE.

-MARIA MONTESSORI-



HOPE KNOWS
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PAIN
IS JOY;
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF INJUSTICE
IS PEACE.





HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT US,
BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE HAS BEEN POURED
INTO OUR HEARTS.



ROMANS 5:5



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



YOU ARE MY KING
AND MY GOD, WHO DECREES
VICTORIES FOR JACOB.



PSALM 44:4



THERE IS NO FOE TO YOUR GROWTH IN
GRACE, NO ENEMY IN YOUR CHRISTIAN
WORK, WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN
YOUR SAVIOR'S CONQUESTS. YOU NEED
NOT BE AFRAID OF THEM. CLAIM YOUR
SHARE IN THE SAVIOR'S VICTORY.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



ALL THE ADVERTISING WE CAN DO WILL NEVER EQUAL
THE INTEREST AND PARTICIPATION IN THE THINGS
OF GOD RESULTING FROM THE GRACIOUS ANSWERS
TO THE PRAYERS OF FAITH GENERATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

-A. W. TOZER-



YOUR THRONE IS ESTABLISHED FROM OF OLD;
YOU ARE FROM EVERLASTING. YOUR TESTIMONIES
STAND FIRM; HOLINESS ADORNS YOUR HOUSE,
O LORD, FOREVER.



PSALM 93:2,5



JESUS FULFILLED THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET
ISAIAH:"THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH
GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME
TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO
SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE DOWNTRODDEN,
TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."



LUKE 4:18-19



WHOEVER HEARS THE WORD OF JESUS AND
BELIEVES HIM WHO SENT HIM HAS ETERNAL
LIFE AND WILL NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT,
BUT HAS PASSED OVER FROM DEATH TO LIFE.



JOHN 5:24



I WILL TRAIN UP EACH CHILD ACCORDING TO HIS WAY;
EVEN WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.



PROVERBS 22:6



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE CLOTHED WITH
MAJESTY AND THAT JESUS CAME TO SET US FREE
. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST. GUIDE ME
AS I INSTRUCT OTHERS IN THE WAY OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH.

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