Speak to Him, thou, for He hears,
And spirit with spirit shall meet;
Nearer is He than breathing,
Closer than hands and feet.

MY LIFE -Charles C. Nicholls

GetFriday — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:00:17 +0000

My life flows on
Like some sweet song.
I have no care or sorrow,
God gives sufficient
For the day.
I trust Him for the morrow.

My God has been
So good to me,
His praise I daily sound,
I know not what
The future’ll be,
Now perfect peace I’ve found.

So I ever aim to live
In hope and trust and prayer.
The best I have
To Him I’ll give.
I know for me He’ll care

“I am able,” saith the Master,
“To deliver from all fears;
Lift thy many cares and burdens,
Dry all softly falling tears.”

“I am able,” saith the Master,
“To remove each faulty stain,
And to make you more than victor
Over things that cause Me pain.”

“I am able,” saith the Master,
“To become your constant shield;
To uphold, defend, and cherish,
If to Me, your life you’ll yield.”

Psalm 125:11

GetFriday — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:00:15 +0000

They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
-Psalm 125:11.

NO NEED TO WORRY

GetFriday — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:10:13 +0000

I cannot read the future, and I do not need to know
The things that will befall me as through this world I go
I have a faithful Guide, and if I always do my best,
I have no need to worry for God will do the rest.
Let trouble overtake me, let hardship be my lot,
Let bitter opposition fondest expectations blot.
No anxious care shall press my soul, no need have I to fear;
And I shall not worry for God is ever near.

DEATHBED VALEDICTORY

GetFriday — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:00:12 +0000

I stand on the border of mortal life, but I face eternal life. I look backward to the years of the past to see all pettiness, all triviality shrink into nothing and disappear.
Adverse criticism has no meaning now. Only the worthwhile things, the constructive things – the things that have been built for the good of mankind and the glory of God count now.
There is beauty, there is joy, and there is laughter in life – as there ought to be. But remember, my students, not to regard lightly nor to ridicule the sacred things, those worthwhile things. Hold them dear, cherish them; for they alone will sustain you in the end. And remember, too, that only through work and oft times through hardships may they be obtained. But the compensation of blessing and sweetness at the last will glorify every hour of work and every heartache from hardship.
Do not face the future with timidity and fear. Face it solidly, courageously, and joyously. Have faith in what it holds.
My own faith as I approach eternity grows stronger day by day. The faith I have had in life is projected into this vast future toward which I travel now.
I know that I go toward an all-powerful God, wherever He may be. I know he is a personality who created man in his image. Beyond that I have no knowledge – no fear – only faith.
-Dr. S. P. Brooks,
President of Baylor University.
