Helen and Amanda were discussing their busy schedules.
Helen said, "Amanda, I must ask you something. Every day I feel incredibly run down and tired. And yet, I see you looking as fresh as a rose. I have to know: what's your secret?"
"My secret? Every morning, without fail, I wake up at six o'clock sharp."
"You wake up at six o'clock?"
"Yes, and then I look at the clock, see what time it is, and go back to sleep for another four hours."
"Judgment is God's justice confronting moral inequity, whereas mercy is God's goodness confronting human guilt and suffering."
- A. W. Tozer Delighting in God
I need a strength to keep me true
And starlight in everything I do;
I need power to keep me strong
When I am tempted to do wrong;
I need grace to keep me pure
When passion tries its deadly lure;
I need a love to keep me sweet
When hardness and mistrust I meet;
Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.
- Dwight L. Moody
One of my favorite stories is about a little girl who was late coming home for supper. Her mother made the expected irate parent's demand to know where she had been.
The little girl replied that she had stopped to help Janie, whose bicycle was broken in a fall.
"But you don't know anything about fixing bicycles," her mother responded.
