JUNE 3RD

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
HELEN STEINER RICE



WHEN YOU ASK GOD FOR A GIFT,
BE THANKFUL IF HE SENDS
NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS, OR RICHES,
BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS.



A GOOD NAME IS TO BE CHOSEN RATHER
THAN GREAT RICHES, AND FAVOR IS BETTER THAN
SILVER OR GOLD



PROVERBS 22:1



TODAY CREATE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE
WITH WHOM YOU COME INTO CONTACT.





SEATED ON AN OUTCROPPING OF
ROCK HIGH ABOVE THE SNOWBOUND
VALLEY, MY EYE IS DRAWN TO THE
EVERGREEN, AND HOPE STIRS WITHIN
MY BREAST.



IT IS HOPE WHICH MAINTAINS
MOST OF MANKIND.

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



GIVE ME RELIEF FROM MY DISTRESS;
BE MERCIFUL TO ME AND HEAR MY
PRAYER.



PSALMS 4:1B



MY SOUL, IF THOU WOULDST BE
ENLARGED INTO HUMAN
SYMPATHY, THOU MUST BE
NARROWED INTO LIMITS OF HUMAN
SUFFERING. IT IS THY LIMIT THAT
IS THINE ENLARGEMENT.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



MY PRAYERS, MY GOD, FLOW
FROM WHAT I AM NOT. I THINK
THY ANSWERS MAKE ME
WHAT I AM.

-GEORGE MACDONALD



JESUS IS IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER
IS IN HIM. HE SPOKE THE WORDS OF HIS
FATHER AND DID THE WORKS OF HIS
FATHER WHO DWELLS IN HIM. HE TOLD
US TO BELIEVE IN HIM BECAUSE HE IS
IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN HIM,
AND BECAUSE HE PROVED IT THROUGH
HIS WORKS.



JOHN 14:10-11



MEN WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING
IN CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND
GLORY. AND HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS
AND GATHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
WINDS, FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
TO THE ENDS OF THE HEAVENS. WE MUST
TAKE HEED AND BE WATCHFUL, FOR WE DO
NOT KNOW WHEN THAT TIME WILL COME.



MARK 13:26-27,



NO, TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN ME
EXCEPT WHAT IS COMMON TO MAN.
AND GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT
LET ME BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT I
AM ABLE, BUT WITH THE TEMPATATION
WILL ALSO PROVIDE A WAY OUT, SO
THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO ENDURE IT.



1 CORINTHIANS 10:13



I DO NOT WANT TO LOVE PRAISE
FROM MEN MORE THAN PRAISE
FROM GOD.



JOHN 12:43



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT JESUS SO
CLEARLY MANIFESTED YOUR
PERFECTION AND THAT HE WILL
COME AGAIN IN POWER AND
GLORY. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PROVISION IN TIMES OF TEMPTATION,
AND I ASK FOR THE GRACE TO SEEK
YOUR PRAISE RATHER THAN THAT
OF PEOPLE.

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