Do your best loyally and cheerfully and suffer yourself to feel no fear nor anxiety. Your times are in God’s hands. He has assigned you your place; He will direct your paths; He will accept your efforts if they are faithful.
-Canon Farrar.

Not thine nor mine to question or reply
When He commands us, asking how or why.
He knows the cause, His ways are wise and just
Who serves the Lord must serve with better trust.
-Henry Van Dyke.
Afraid? Of what?
To feel the Spirit’s glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid – of that?
Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Savior’s face,
To hear His welcome and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid – of that?
Afraid? Of what?
A flash, a crash, a pierced heart -
Darkness – Light – O Heaven’s art!
A wound of His, a counterpart!
Afraid – of that?
Afraid? Of what?
To enter into heaven’s rest,
And yet to serve the Master blest,
From service good to service best?
Afraid – of that?
Afraid? Of what?
To do by death what life could not -
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot!
Afraid – of that?
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.
-Isaiah 41:10.
Not for a single day
Can I discern the way;
But this I know -
Who gives the day
Will show the way -
So I securely go.
-John Oxenham.
Faith is simply taking what in all sincerity God offers. Faith is not belief in spite of evidence, but life lived in scorn of consequences.
-Stanley Jones.
If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
-Mark 9:23.
By your own thoughts you make or mar your life, your world, your universe.
-Allen.
