Thoughts

From Passion & Purity by Elizabeth Elliot:

"The deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done. Acceptance of whatever that means is the great victory of faith that overcomes the world."

Psalm 37:4-5

"A little quiet reflection will remind me that yes to God always leads in the end to joy. We can absolutely bank on that."

Thank you Amy. I'm glad God called you on your own phone.

Show Hope

Hope means a continual looking forward to the eternal world.
It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is.
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought the most of the next.
~C.S. Lewis
